All in Netherlands
Musty, wet-cardboard flavor can’t be intentional, but it’s common enough in chocolate milk that I’m no longer surprised by it. This drink admittedly doesn’t have much to work with, given the nutritional profile, but perhaps just aiming for ‘bland’ should be the goal of certain producers.
Salty, sweet, and chocolaty, it’s hard not to enjoy this. There’s a noticeable chalk to it, but when it delivers authentic-feeling cocoa flavor, it doesn’t register as obtrusive in the least. Flat out delicious!
Very similar to Dutch organic ‘Happy Chocolate’ in many ways— the only difference was that this seemed just a bit less salty— and I can’t decide which I prefer— they’re both outstanding.
Beautiful to watch it cascade out of the bottle and into a glass-- but the aesthetics set a high bar that is hard to live up to. In short, it’s got punchy flavor but way too heavy on the sweetness end. The first sip is a nice surprise, but the 4th and 5th are a bit much.
Tastes creamier than it should, despite the overly thickened texture. It’s more like a light milkshake than anything else-- there's a ton of salt and emulsification going on, but the cocoa flavor seemed to have been an afterthought. Attractive coloration, if you fancy bile.
