Milk It! Czekoladowy

Straightforward chocolate flavor delivered through a texture that feels smooth going down, but leaves a lot of residue on the sides of the glass (most will drink it out of the bottle and never notice this). No surprises here (good or bad) but well-executed and worthy of your spare zloty.

Mlekovita Mleko Czekoladowe

Excellent milky feel: thin enough, creamy enough, sweet/salty/chocolaty enough— everything works well in the current proportions. Only complaint is that it’s so effortlessly drinkable that the 200mL is gone before you know it. Buy several.

Cserpes Sajtmuhely Laktozmentes Csokolades Tej

Perfectly nails the low viscosity / high creaminess ratio that so many others flub up in either direction. Unfortunately, they opted to go the no sugar added route (sweetened with stevia) which commands too much attention. This product has immense potential if only it would choose sugar as the sweetener. If I try hard enough, I can convince myself that I can taste the cardamom that it contains, though it's far from obvious.

Pilos Kakaos Ital

Flavorful and highly drinkable, this is an honorable all-purpose chocolate milk that is available at a very fair price. Perhaps a little darker colored, but not significantly different from Mizo Kakao (Low Fat).

Tesco Kakaos Ital

Very strong cocoa flavor that would benefit tremendously from a more indulgent cream factor, enabling the cocoa flavor to last a few seconds more. Still, a nice surprise, and a welcome departure from store-brand mediocrity.

Cserpes Sajtmuhely Kakao Tej

Thin and chocolaty with a cocoa flavor that approaches sour and earthy. Would be lots better with a creamy backing-- as is, it’s a hint too watery; the liquid component washes away quickly, causing the cocoa particulates to gather on the tongue as though you were panning for gold in a Sierra Nevada creek.

Milfina Schokolade Milkshake

Flavor is slightly better than some of the other cupped milkshakes I've had in recent times, but the goopy thickness is difficult for me to get past. There are way more indulgent tasting products that don't carry nearly the caloric price tag that this does.

Tolle Kakaos Tej

Nearly identical to Spar ESL Kakaos Tej and Milfina Kakaos Tej, but this manages to be a touch less sweet and therefore registers as slightly more bland. Shouldn't offend anyone, but why not pursue something that will present more challenge to your tastebuds?

Felegyhazi Tej Kakao

Has a bit of a sugary/sticky feel to it and delivers a candied chocolate flavor that feels immature and overly sweet. Heavier does of cream wouldn’t hurt, but the underlying cocoa flavor isn’t one that is worth trying to enhance through embellishment of the supporting cast.

Parmalat Laktozmentes Kakaos Tej

I’ve never actually wrung out damp tree bark and lapped the drippings, but this would be the flavor that I reckon would result. Water-thin, highly unsweet, 80% earthy, 15% wheaty, and the last 5% is hard to put a finger on, but for now let’s file it under ‘lichens.’

Galla Tejital 0% Cukor Kakaos

Imagine this- you snorted a full packet of Sweet ’n Low, then someone blasted you in the face, causing your nose to trickle artificially-sweetened blood both in through your lips and down the back of your throat. This experience (in bottled form) is available at Auchan for a mere 219 Hungarian Forint.

Mars (Hungary)

Good combination of malt and caramel, just lacks the punch of its more-indulgent counterpart. That said, I’d be happy to pack away a handful of these for a hike or long bus ride. Plenty of uniquely ‘Mars-y’ flavor.
