Superior Quality Dutch Chocolate Milk

Delicious cocoa flavor is the sole focus— and the thin texture delivers the flavor quickly but lacks a bit of staying power— an issue that is promptly remedied by taking another sip as you will want to do. It drinks 'faster' than its rich cocoa taste should allow, but it's still a worthwhile pursuit.

Cocoa Good Friends

Cocoa flavor is strong yet dull at the same time-- it lacks dimension. It’s nicely undersweet, a bit chalky, and a fine enough product to wake up to on those mornings when you don’t require inspiration.

Fresh Delight Chocolate Milk (UHT)

Paralyzingly bland-- no sweetness, cocoa, salt, malt, you name it.. Scoring this a 2.0 overall, as anything below 2.0 needs to have enough of a flavor to be considered ‘bad.’ This product is evidently aimed at those who find ketchup too spicy, and The Andy Griffith Show too racy.

Go Long Chocolate Latte

Sour and wheaty— a somewhat mature approach, though it severely lacks a creamy presence that would shift things from ‘disappointingly watery’ to ‘understatedly sophisticated.’ That said, it washes out quickly, which ends up being fine because the flavor isn’t one that you necessarily want to have hanging around.

Mizuho Choco Milk

Not terrible among the field of Taiwanese chocolate milk, but falls short of the global ‘average’ due to a chalky consistency that doesn't carry enough flavor and a creaminess that flirts and vanishes too quickly.

Kuang Chuan Dairy Chocolate Milk

Prominently chocolaty— and has just a hint of hazelnut essence (not sure if actually contains any)— it’s rather rich considering the fairly pedestrian 65 calories / 1.4g fat per 100mL it has to work with. The sweetness is restrained quite a bit, allowing its cocoa to stand tall— they've done well here.

Top O' The Morn Farms Chocolate Milk

Sweet, creamy, malty, chocolaty— perhaps in that order— it all adds up to a delicious chocolate milk that, despite its plus ratings in most categories, doesn’t stand out terribly far in any one aspect. A few moments post-swallow, you get a little bit of film that carries a drying property, but that’s a minor gripe considering the overall excellent package.

Alexandre Family Farm Organic Chocolate Milk

Powerful flavor comes at the expense of a heavy dose of chalk. Such strong cocoa presence, that it feels like the individual grains of powdered cacao are besieging your tongue with ‘total annihilation’ as their collective charter. Despite vigorous shaking, I couldn’t get all the cream to mix in (which would have mitigated some of the grainy coarseness). All things considered, it's a memorably potent and flavorful chocolate milk that has a place in this world as well as my refrigerator shelf.

Broguiere's Chocolate Milk

Thick and ‘hearty’ (I hate that word), with a lingering sweetness and prominent vanilla flavor. I'm guessing that the thickness is its most beloved feature by the Broguiere’s faithful, but it feels a bit overplayed and not reinforced with enough chocolate or accessible creaminess (it goes down in gulps rather than a seamless dispersion from mouth to throat) to compete with the elite.

Straus Family Creamery Organic Chocolate Milk

Wow— super strong cocoa flavor, paired with a mature, undersweet sourness that delivers a haymaker of deliciousness! It offers what I desire most in chocolate milk exceedingly well— creaminess unencumbered by viscosity, brilliantly indulgent and punchy mature cocoa flavor, and a unique had-nearly-one-thousand-chocolate-milks-but-nothing-quite-like-this factor that puts this into rarefied orbit for me.

Morning Fresh Premium Chocolate Milk

Warmly creamy and a pleasant maltier cocoa quality that stands apart from many over-sweetened, candified chocolate flavors. It has a bit of fine grain to the texture, but the cream disperses extraordinarily well, causing you to bask in the afterglow of each sip.

Plains Dairy Premium Chocolate Milk

Excellent all-around flavor and texture, shading a bit to the sweet end of things, but it still feels responsible and focused on tasting how chocolate milk should. A salty snap puts a welcome finish on each sip— it’s a cheap date, but one you’ll look forward to taking out.

Sarah Farms Decadent Chocolate Milk

Densely packed and somewhat of a chalky feel— the flavor isn’t as bold as one might expect ‘decadent’ to deliver— but rather it’s a deeper, more sophisticated chocolate experience that improves over time. The sweetness and cocoa are balanced very well and provide lasting flavor beyond the swig.

Farmer's All Natural Chocolate Milk

Straightforward chocolate taste that is hands-down the star of the show. It’s competently creamy, a bit chalky, very much under-sweet (in a good way), and abundantly chocolaty. More chocolate milk brands should take notice— high chocolate and lower sweetness lends itself to a responsible, yet indulgent feel that really brandishes chocolate milk’s potential appeal to a more adult audience.
