If ‘bland’ and ‘innocuous’ are two things you seek in a chocolate milk, look no further. It’s recognizable as chocolate milk, and that happens to be its best quality.

Creamier and marginally more flavorful than its low-fat counterpart, but decidedly does not do whole milk justice. Perhaps the ‘nature’ piece of the Nature’s Touch moniker is the high fructose corn syrup, [regular] corn syrup, corn starch, and water. Corn and water are both ‘natural’— so why not..

Each sip is an entire dessert in itself. Gorgeous in presentation, impossibly decadent in cocoa flavor, and sweet enough to rot out your molars. It drinks thinner than you expect, but the indulgence strikes harder than you expect— even after you’ve had multiple ounces. This is an experience I won’t soon forget— it’s hives-inducingly chocolaty, and will scratch that indulgence itch all the way down to the bone.

A mass of deliciously creamy cocoa— so thick you can almost chew it. Its salty kick adds dimension to the cream, punch to the cocoa, and overall finality to the exit— which will be spent in reverence. There’s plenty of heft, but its delicious payoff more than does it justice.

An absolute dream to imbibe, and you won’t want it to end! Jersey cream forged from each buttery blade of grass they bite, mixed with a raw cocoa that serves as its perfect compliment. This is what chocolate milk is meant to be, and each sip is a reminder of how far some have strayed from the herd— when the solution was there the whole time: grass-fed whole milk, cocoa, and pure cane sugar.

Deliciously dense, with laser-focus on the cocoa experience, which for me, even after 1,400+ chocolate milks, stands out as uniquely prominent and tasty. The creamy base expertly delivers its punchy flavor evenly across all of your tastebuds, and even finding some that were either long dormant or you didn’t know existed.

Smooth, silky, and more of a caramel flavor than that of chocolate. I’ve had lots of ‘real’ Dutch chocolate milk (in the Netherlands, of course), and those generally sport a stronger cocoa flavor. Regardless, it drinks easily, and is plenty sweet and creamy to get the job done.

Decently pleasant hot-cocoa-packet flavor in an averagely creamy, mildly chalky base. Sadly, mediocrity rises to the top of the ‘institutional’ market, as this is one of the best chocolate milks I’ve had at a hotel breakfast buffet.

Buttery and direct— with cream that perfectly compliments the cocoa flavor and amplifies its presence well beyond each swallow. Masterful in its simplicity, delicious in its execution; overall a dream to sip.

Absolute poetry on the palate! Leaves both mouth and soul with a warm satisfaction that is rarely achieved—consider each 8-ounce serving as a legitimate creamy/salty/malty ticket to rapture.

Luxuriously creamy with a beautiful buttery malt that implores further consumption at a deliberately focused rate. The cocoa flavor won’t kick your door down, but it chooses to develop in the latter half of the draw before exiting gracefully.

Phenomenally creamy, full, and drinkable in a way that few chocolate milks could hope to achieve. It disperses perfectly in the mouth, knowing exactly where to go and how long it should take— and leaves you with a slightly powdery/malty cocoa gift that crescendos in the afterglow.

Wow— a punch in the face of sweet, dark, cocoa flavor that will have your tastebuds standing at attention! Its remarkable girth is fully burdened with flavor and highly congruent with its gorgeous visage. For potable indulgence, look no further— but don’t say I didn’t warn you.
