O Organics Low Fat Chocolate Milk

Refreshingly under-sweet, yet surprisingly creamy and delicious for 1% lowfat. Chocolate is the focus, and the experience feels forthright and true from initial sip to pensive repose. Strong example of how sweetness should play a supporting (not leading) role.

FreshStart Farm Chocolate Peanut Butter Milk

Wow- a warm hug on a chilly day-- this is exactly what you need, and you don't want it to end. The proportions of chocolate, peanut butter, sweetness, and salt are in perfect harmony, and accentuated by a deliciously creamy and buttery base-- this is a rare treat that you won't soon forget.

La Colombe Draft Chocolate Milk

Surprisingly well-represented dark chocolate flavor over a paper-thin base that is quickly overmatched and incapable of doing the cocoa justice. Each sip imparts a warming sensation in the mouth that may precipitate salivation to clear it away. The packaging is gorgeous, the flavor unique, and the execution ultimately strays from 'indulgence' and instead leans toward 'interesting novelty that I don't need to have again.'

Premier Protein Chocolate

Sludgy, chalky, and vitamin-y tasting-- this would serve well as a meal replacement as it rather efficiently curbs the appetite. It's not face-twistingly bad, but rather predictable in its fortified flavor and clotted body. You deserve much better regardless of whether you just finished a crossfit workout or a large pizza.

Sarris Candies Chocolate Milkshake

Powerfully dense and flavorful, with a tidal wave of upfront sweetness followed by an extremely rewarding and rich chocolaty back end. Honestly, the latter third of the sip is the highlight, and worth weathering the initial sugary storm-- which, don't get me wrong, is indulgent and tasty, just stronger than you may expect from a chocolate milk. In short, it's super interesting, unique, and worth seeking out, particularly if you have a sweet tooth.

Chaney's Dairy Barn Chocolate Milk

This is sure to scratch anyone's itch for delicious whole chocolate milk-- it's thick, creamy, chocolaty, and plenty sweet. It's a bit beefier and more flavorful than the average whole offering, and while not necessarily unique in any one direction, all of its attributes coalesce very naturally, lending to a great overall 'feel.'

Zeal Grass Milk Creamery Chocolate Milk

Thick, creamy texture with a prominent grassy presence, hint of honey sweetness and a back-end Stevia bite. The search for any semblance of cocoa flavor lasted for 3 cups and was ultimately called off. I very much appreciate the texture and wildness factor, but simply put, the flavor falls well short of modest expectations and the choice to use Stevia (despite being a natural sweetener) causes a rather unnatural-feeling and suboptimal-tasting experience. Points for uniqueness though.

Family Express Lowfat Chocolate Milk

Drab, flavorless, and pancake flat; it’s ‘austerity’ in liquid form. Despite a lack of prominent taste, it finishes with a slightly earthy bent, and an annoyingly astringent feel. I’ve had much funkier products, but this one has all the makings of a D+ grade without the excitement of a more abject failure.

FreshStart Farm Chocolate Milk

Absolutely phenomenal on the palate— delivering powerfully grassy Jersey cream and cocoa with an artfully deft restraint on the sweetness lever. It’s bold, beefy, and brave in the best possible sense. I will cry when this bottle is empty. I don’t cry often.

Knueven Creamery Chocolate Milk

Densely flavorful without the cumbersome body— truly a masterpiece that lines up exceedingly well with my personal proclivities. The slightly mature cocoa flavor is delivered through a delicious grassy cream that seeks out your tastebuds with masterful precision and care. It knows it’s good, but refuses to brag.

S&D Smith Dairy Chocolate Milk

Luxuriously buttery, excruciatingly flavorful, the absolute pinnacle of what Jersey chocolate milk can and should be! The perfect amount of grass in the cream serves as a constant homage to its origins and the true magic that cows perform in order to convert ‘that’ to ‘this.’ Each sip feels like a gift that I neither earned nor deserved. Pure heaven.

Hoover's Dairy Chocolate Milk

Unapolagetically confident in its creamy base and maturely indulgent cocoa flavor— where sweetness plays very much a supporting role and is better for it. It’s dessert-y, and wholly satisfying without the oft-used sugary ‘crutch’— in short, it’s a magnificent way to spend a few bucks, a few hundred calories, and a few precious moments of your life.
