Delicious cocoa-malt punch with a velvety creamline texture that ends with a salty nip. It remains refreshingly focused on cocoa and cream throughout, and the sweetness plays its supporting role well, doing its part to enhance, not usurp the limelight. In total, it's a solidly built, slightly undersweet and over-creamy non-homogenized chocolate milk well worth your time and attention.

Densely flavorful creamline body that, much like fine wines and chocolate milk reviewers, gets better with age. A few days after opening the half gallon, I sense a grassier note which adds much desired 'dimensionality' to the cream. The cocoa flavor strikes the medium-to-malty part of my gustatory cortex and is warmly chaperoned by the cream flavor for a pleasant entrance and graceful exit-- of course leaving you wanting more.

Strongly chocolaty and sweet- it drinks thickly but packs a satisfying punch of flavor making the girth seem worth it. In a world of subpar private label chocolate milks, this stuff stands out and dares you not to be satisfied (if not won over) by its competence.

Its relatively light complexion accurately suggests a lighter cocoa presence-- creating a flavor void that is filled with a powerful (not quite 'searing') sweetness that eventually gives way to a chocolate note on the way out. It's still an enjoyable way to spend a couple minutes and a few hundred calories, but I'm left longing for a stronger cocoa flavor and more equitable sweet/salty balance.

Gracefully thin and smooth for a creamline chocolate milk-- I appreciate the alacrity with which it moves and the facility with I can down a pint. Flavor-wise, it registers a sweetness upfront, followed by a lightly malty cocoa presence that takes you the rest of the way. It drinks quickly, and is enjoyable while it lasts.

Refreshingly restrained for a C&C flavored milk-- it's quite under-sweet for the genre and provides more of a (chocolaty) cookie hit than a (sugary) cream one-- and I must say, that's a character that I admire, both for the uniqueness and for the flavor ratio itself.

Accurate and well-balanced mocha flavor delivered through a gorgeously creamy base-- I could get used to waking up to this every morning. And having it in the afternoon. Pretty much whenever I guess. If you enjoy the confluence of coffee & cocoa- definitely add this to your bucket list.

Delicious onslaught of chocolaty, peanut-buttery, creamy goodness that does the combination justice. It takes advantage of its slightly less viscous (than its peers) texture to deliver brilliant, punchy flavor early and often to whatever surface it graces. Absolutely loving this right now, it will wake up your tastebuds without feeling heavy-handed-- it will bring a mid-sip smile to your mouth and gleam to your soul.

Warm creaminess with a salty and slightly grassy nip upfront, which sets the tone nicely for the cocoa flavor that tapers off gracefully into the aftertaste. It feels solidly built upon a delicious Jersey creamline foundation and rewards you with an indulgent treat worthy of slow, pensive sips and that coveted top-shelf refrigerator real estate.

Smooth, lightly chocolaty, unoffensive, rather tolerable. It's saltier than sweet, and otherwise down the middle. Will not cause rapid heartbeat, excitement, depression, lust, anxiety, or any other sensation aside from a burning calm that, if unchecked, can lead to a sunken, empty regret for having played it safe.

Sourish cocoa paired with a strong cooked milk flavor-- admittedly not something that sounds immediately enticing. Texture-wise, it's a tad chalky but otherwise unoffensive-- and as a whole, the enjoyment peaks at the mild satisfaction of a few strong pulls off of the straw.

Very smooth and drinkable reduced fat chocolate milk with a sweet cocoa flavor that is not quite 'fruity' but a bit hard to put my finger on. It's mildly distracting, and I'm still attempting to reconcile the gap between what I like in a cocoa flavor, and what we've got here.

Upfront blast of sweetness followed by a cooked milk flavor that carries through to the aftertaste. The high degree of sweetness overpowers the rest of the experience and ultimately feels a bit hollow. On the positive side, its reduced fat base feels substantial and is certainly preferable to a lowfat or nonfat alternative.

Very heavy-handed on the sugary side of the ledger-- affording very little else to come through in the sip. The cookies & cream flavor is somewhat muted and drinks more like a 'candified' chocolate milk-- by that, I mean that it tastes more like chocolate candy than actual chocolate. Texture-wise, there are clumps of goo that float to the top and detract from a smooth drinking experience. I don't like it.
