Deliciously balanced representation of the mocha flavor with a chocolate presence on the front end and warm, lasting coffee simmer on the back end. The creamline base does its job extremely well in a supporting role, and a pint goes surprisingly quickly though my intent was to savor it as I would my morning cup of joe. I'll do it with the next pint, I promise.

Lots to love here-- medium cocoa flavor over a solidly-built, densely creamy base and a sweet/salty balance nicely tipped in favor of the latter. But for me, the star of the show is the buttery, grassy sustain in the latter third of the sip and into the aftertaste-- a perfect homage to its origins, and an extra dimension of flavor that is rarely attained in our world of mass-produced chocolate milk.

I'm almost speechless. Dark, sour/mature cocoa flavor-- a signature of local Asheville chocolatier French Broad Chocolate-- over a gorgeous grass-fed creamline base, and sweetened only with honey. Three ingredients-- a match made in heaven, and one of the most unique and memorable drinkable experiences I've had in my life, which includes (but is not limited to) the over 1,700 chocolate milks I've had up to this point. Sure, it might not be for everyone, but that just means there's more left for me.

Well-balanced across the board, leveraging as much of its reduced-fat base as possible to provide a tasty treat. Decidedly better than most of its 2% peers by virtue of it being more chocolaty than average and keeping its sweet-salty balance in check.

Sublime confluence of buttery Jersey cream, delicious medium-to-mature cocoa flavor, and a finely-tuned sweet/salty balance appropriately in favor of the latter. As stunningly gorgeous as the label is, it still undersells what is on the inside-- and we all know it's what's on the inside that counts. And now as I write this-- it's inside me-- increasing my overall worth, if only for a short time.

Gorgeously creamy base that is more than up to the task of delivering deliciousness straight to your brain stem. It starts with a punchy sweetness that remains prominent for the first 2/3 of the sip, then it gives way to the cream flavor which surges in the latter third and sets the tone for the aftertaste. In my experience, the cocoa flavor is tertiary (*fancy word, I know) but pleasantly malty while it lasts. It's unique, and feels brilliantly on the palate; alas I should have bought more.

Deliciously straightforward-- strong, indulgent cocoa presence fully supported by its creamline base and a favorable salty/sweet balance in favor of the former. There's a bit of texture that goes along with each sip-- a slightly chalky footprint of the substantial cocoa flavor contained therein.

Well-executed mocha flavor here, where each component has strong representation throughout. The reduced-fat base keeps things moving on the palate, leaving behind a bit of astringency on the tongue, but overall working above its pay grade to deliver the choco-coffee goodness directly to your tastebuds, stomach, and ultimately, brains stem with a pleasant jolt of caffeine.

Among the strongest, most deeply indulgent cocoa flavors I've experienced in potable form! Each sip is like a dark chocolate truffle, but with a very accessible viscosity and texture. There may be issues getting the cream to evenly disperse, but don't let this deter you from enjoying this gorgeous, dark, mature, endlessly chocolaty treat.

Deliciously buttery creamline body with finely-tuned sweet-salty balance in favor of the latter. Its cocoa flavor is on the maltier end of the spectrum and remains a rewarding treat that should pair well with just about anything, though I prefer to drink it in isolation, so I can focus more on the experience. Well that, and because I don't have very many friends. :)

Indulgent upfront pop of cocoa flavor with a buttery smooth back-end with a final hint of delicious grassiness that adds a unique dimensionality to the cream flavor. It drinks magnificently and feels rewarding from initial draw to introspective repose. I'm well into the second pint before I was able to manage 3 sentences of a review. That's a damn good sign.

So yeah, the 'chip' part of 'mint chip milk' makes this in-scope for my purposes, and this may not be surprising by looking at its electric green color, there's not really any chocolate quality to be found on the palate. Instead, you're treated to a sweet, cooling, menthol-esque freshness that is unique and pleasantly pepperminty. It lives up to its 'intense' label, and while a noteworthy novelty, it's not something that I would factor into my ideal flavored milk rotation. 

Gorgeous creamline body capable of shouldering more flavor-- but what is there is a deliciously subtle cocoa-malt flavor that pairs well with the non-homogenized cream flavor to make a nicely satisfying drink.

Nicely developing flavor where the initial salty/malty punch seamlessly flows into cocoa crescendo in the latter half of the sip. The creamline base is fully burdened with flavor, without feeling bogged down by added thickness-- in a word, it's 'dessertily indulgent.' Ok so that's two words, but one of them I made up, so really it's still just one. Just try it.

Immediately flavorful with a thin, silky texture that still feels blissfully creamy. The aftertastes leans sweet, but there's a fleeting grassy twinge toward the back end that adds dimensionality to the cream flavor and overall experience. Sixteen ounces goes extremely quickly when you're jonesing local, whole, creamline chocolate milk-- which is why I bought four bottles.

Approaching a sharp-ish maltiness that feels desserty and is nicely delivered by its substantial but lithe, non-homogenized base. The flavor distributes quickly and strikes mainly to the rear sides of the tongue, making each swallow a purposeful deliverance of yum.
