Not bad for an institutional, low-fat chocolate milk. The amiable texture carries less sweetness, allowing the creaminess and chocolate to grab the limelight (which is admittedly rather dim). Slight drying sensation several seconds after the swallow, but I've had much worse in the genre.
[This was sour by the time I tried it, it was 6 days past the sell-by date and at NO FAULT of Lentsville Farm— a friend was gracious enough to transport it from NY to NC. I will certainly re-review this at first opportunity!]
Creamy, smooth, moderately chocolaty experience with a noticeable 'cooked milk' flavor that some might mistake for a 'caramelish' dimension. It does not live up to the past Marva Maid Extra Rich at all. There's no apparent richness beyond what your typical whole chocolate milk offers. It's good, not great.
Fantastic buttery cream (with a hint of grass on the back-end), sweet-salty balance, and prominent cocoa flavor-- all the trappings of a top-notch creamline chocolate milk that overdelivers happiness to and through the palate.
Certainly thicker, creamier, and more cocoa-focused than its standard lofwat cousin, but the texture feels a bit over-emulsified and there's a sweetness that lingers slightly past its curfew. It's a marked improvement and easily the best of the Nesquik lineup, but falls short of most other mass-produced whole chocolate milks in its peer group.
Gorgeous non-homogenous base that is easily the star of the show, though it feels slightly underburdened with flavor. I like that it's not overly sweet, and the chocolate flavor that exists is pleasant while it's there, but whisks away quickly leaving you wanting more.
Greeted quickly by a unique maple-syrup-like sweetness, and then promptly ignored. Coloration aside, there's scant evidence of cocoa flavor, and while it drinks pleasantly, it does nothing to cause you to look backward (reflection) or forward (anticipation) in regard to what just crossed your palate.
An improvement over past iterations, but still lacking heavily in most relevant measures. It drinks a lot more watery than it looks and feels-- and has a pretty restrained flavor (which is better than having a strong, awful flavor). A chalkiness sets in about 4 seconds after the swallow, and it will even spread to your lips if unchecked. In short, not as offensive as I was braced for, but to call it a pleasant surprise would border on hyperbolic.
Wow- a chocolate milk not afraid to be different! Beneath the gorgeous visage lies an undersweet, dark-chocolate-adjacent vein of indulgence that, when it mixes in uniformly with the cream, delivers a prominently unique experience-- the memory of which will last well beyond the product itself. I love the non-homogenous creamy base unimpeded by starchy, faux-viscosity-- this disperses swiftly but not before leaving an impression, and like good houseguests, leaves you wanting more.
Thickly creamy with a sweet beginning, medium-chocolaty peak and graceful exit-- this is very readily enjoyable and sure to scratch anyone's itch for whole chocolate milk.
Powerful upfront (slightly earthy) cocoa hit complimented by a strong but fleeting sweetness, thanks to a salty snap that curbs the sweet and accentuates the cream flavor on the way out. It drinks every bit as quickly as it satisfies your craving for potable indulgence.
The underlying flavor isn't terrible, but it's hard to focus on given the cloying artificial sweetness and egregious astringency, which exacerbates with each passing post-swallow moment. I feel like I could legitimately strike a match off of my tongue.
A sludgy, chalky disaster that only gets worse when you put it in your mouth. Sure, it delivers a ton of protein without the calories, at the mere cost of your pleasure and self-respect. It's overly fakey-sweet, with zero salt note to bring a resolution to it. There is at least a noticeable cocoa flavor if you can sift through the other garbage to appreciate it.
Impossibly creamy, silky base that lasts well beyond the sip, imparting a delicate warmth upon every surface that it graces (don't get ahead of me here). There's plenty of room for additional flavor, but I appreciate the undersweetness and slow-burn cocoa that peaks in the aftertaste. The cream flavor is the standout feature-- and epitomizes the age-old advice of "do one thing, but do it extremely well."
Gorgeously buttery and perfect ratio of (relatively thin) viscosity and (extremely high) creaminess. Gives you that warm feeling in your mouth, mind, and soul-- a feat often pursued but rarely achieved. The cocoa flavor is nicely in front of the sweetness, over all this is a painfully delicious way to spend your time!
Fantastically punchy, bright cocoa headlines a densely-packed onslaught of flavor that hits all the notes. Creamy, buttery, salty-- your taste buds certainly won't feel short-changed at any point along this ride. Consistently delicious, and deliciously consistent-- an absolutely brilliant addition to the already stellar Tennessee chocolate milk scene!
Delicious cream flavor that remains the star of the experience throughout-- the cocoa flavor plays a supporting role and crescendos toward the conclusion of each sip. It's very enjoyable, if not a little on the bland side, but I would still prefer its graceful subtlety over a lesser base burdened with too much flavor.
Powerfully creamy experience highlighted by a delectable sweet Jersey cream and choco-malt flavor. A drinking experience like this underscores exactly why creamline Jersey milk should be what chocolate milks aspire to be.
Absolutely crushes the 'thin-viscosity-to-infinitely-creamy' ratio that I enjoy so much-- this is the kind of base that dreams are made of. Warm, buttery Jersey cream gilds every surface that it comes in contact with, delivering a slightly malty chocolate flavor and a tsunami of pleasure that I'd happily drown in.
Oddly undersweet at first sip, until a wave of phony, cloying sweetness rushes to the 'rescue' in the latter third of the sip. Admittedly, it wrests your attention away from the thick, chalky sludgy texture. It looks chocolaty, but that doesn't translate to the drinking experience much at all-- as bad as this is, I've had significantly worse. It's not face-twisting awful, which is the best thing I can say about it.
