Well balanced flavor and texture, a solidly rewarding given its 2% reduced fat base. Doesn't look or feel out of place in its attractive glass bottle-- at the very least: a welcome option for those seeking to allocate more of their fat-calorie spend on ice cream rather than chocolate milk.
Slightly less sweet than the 'melted chocolate ice cream' trope, but plenty thick and substantial to serve as a proxy. Tasty going down and doesn't leave you with excess baggage in the aftertaste, it's a well-built, well-rounded, hefty drinking treat.
Luxurious creamline body adorned with a lightly malty cocoa dusting-- it's classy without bells and whistles, and rewarding in its simplicity-- quite possibly like dairy farming itself.
Unique combination of thick and relatively smooth-- its light brown visage is congruent with the light cocoa flavor that manifests more in a malty-vanilla direction for me. The salty-sweet balance is tuned appropriately, but the overall experience leaves me wanting a bit more.
Predictable sourish cocoa flavor with a noticeable cooked milk flavor-- pretty standard fare for a mass-produced low fat, organic, shelf-stable chocolate milk. It doesn't offend, but both calories and attention are better spent elsewhere.
Attractive coffee-brown complexion, but the honeymoon wears thin rather quickly. It's immediately flavorful, which provides a little false hope that the remainder of the experience will follow suit. When the dust settles, your 'sweetness' itch has been adequately scratched, but the other elements (namely cocoa, cream) are largely missing, and foreboding sense of emptiness begins to set in.
Every bit as face-meltingly flavorful as you'd expect a 1/2 creamline chocolate milk - 1/2 chocolate ice cream mix to be. If you want to do a tastebud audit-- this will find ALL of them, including a few you probably didn't know you had. It's beefy, densely flavorful, incredibly sweet and chocolaty, and might bring you to an early grave. Don't say I didn't warn you!
Syrupy-sweet and physically drying on the back end-- not a mouthfeel that dreams are made of. You have to look pretty hard to locate any legitimate cocoa flavor, and you'll likely want to call off the search before anything is found. There are much better options sold by the gallon, including (but not limited to) distilled water.
Delicious malty with a confident salty lick in the latter half of the sip that tidily wraps up each mouthful and somehow both satisfies and whets your palate for more.
Punchy choco-malty flavor with a sweet-salty balance deftly in favor of the latter. The creamline body is fully-burdened with flavor and does its job well to guide the experience gracefully through to the aftertaste, leading you back where you started, albeit significantly better off for having taken the trip.
Deeply flavorful with layers to the experience-- the bright cocoa flavor is leveraged to its full extent by its gorgeous creamline base with a solid homage to its grassy beginnings. In short, this is an absolutely delicious tasting and feeling chocolate milk with an amped-up, unapologetically indulgent spirit. I'm being brief here so I can get back to drinking it.
Strong upfront cocoa hit with a pleasant creamy sustain-- sweetness plays its supporting role skillfully and stays in the background. It has a solid, well-balanced feel without being bulky or ostentatious.
Heavily creamy-- perhaps not unlike drinking heavy cream-- with a medium-to-malty cocoa flavor and slightly grassy back-end that comes into its own a couple days after the bottle has been opened. Approach slowly and on a relatively empty stomach-- because it won't be empty for long.
Unapologetically thick and girthy-- it delivers a disproportionately strong cocoa flavor given its rather fair complexion. Each sip is a meal in itself, so if you came to the farm for ice cream you might be just as satisfied with 8 oz of this instead. Chewing is optional.
Warmly creamy in a way that a beautiful non-homogenized Jersey milk can be-- and that base sets the tone for the whole experience which goes from malty cocoa punch to sweet creamy repose-- a circuit you will want to repeat ad infinitum. Or until your tummy hurts-- but it's a good hurt, I promise!
Wow-- boldly and confidently undersweet in a way that accentuates the cocoa flavor and maintains its indulgently creamy demeanor throughout. Tastes like nothing I've had before, and after 1,650 chocolate milks-- that's saying something!
The darker, slightly more mature cocoa flavor is uniquely indulgent and further accentuated by the graceful undersweetness, which makes this feel noticeably more desserty and sophisticated than your average ham-fisted over-sweet mass-produced chocolate milk. There's a bit of a dusty footprint on the back end, a conscious reminder of what it takes to deliver strong cocoa flavor in a dairy base.
Velvety creamline body with a gorgeous salty lick at the end which puts a bow on each and every rewarding sip. Chocolaty, warmly creamy-- it's got 'soul' that is not often understood until tried. Delicious from start to finish, this will have you asking incredulously why anyone ever decided to homogenize milk.
If you're not familiar with the uvular 'twang' that you can get from a strongly high-fructose-corn-syrup-sweetened chocolate milk, then give this a try and you'll know. It's devoid of anything other than a sticky sweetness, and is the dairy equivalent of watching daytime reality TV, which, to be fair, I'm not sure exists. But if it did, it would be like this-- something you know is rotting you from the inside, yet has enough of an appeal to hack some brain stems into consuming it regardless.
Leads with cocoa-- a strong, sourish / mature cocoa flavor seizes your tastebuds right away and takes you on a uniquely tasty journey that ends with a clean aftertaste, ultimately whetting your palate for another draw. Both under-sweet and under-salty, it's well balanced and affords the chocolate flavor the lion's share of the limelight. The only chocolate milk I've seen to date that has 'butter' as an ingredient-- I can't pick it out per-se, but bonus point for the novelty!
