Lots fo flavor in a small sip-- it's uniquely salty for the chocolate-mint genre, and it works for the most part though it may distract some out there with less of a personal affect for salt in chocolate milk. The mint presence is cooling and appropriately balanced with the chocolate, though I've had more authentic mint flavors in other milks. There's a slight medicinal quality to the mint-- it's more "Ben-Gay" than "Pepto-Bismol". Aftertaste-wise, your left with a slight cooling/mint essence and a pinch of salt on the tongue-- not off-putting, but noticeable and something that takes a few sips to get used to. Ultimately, comes off as a bit exaggerated in all respects, and would benefit from mild dilution.

Delicious and true-to-form cookies & cream flavor with a twinge of earthiness on the back end. I appreciate that it's opted for realism as opposed to a cartoonish representation of the C&C profile-- it's not heavy-handed on the sweetness and it's a slower burn of an experience rather than an upfront assault like so many have been.

Bright cocoa flavor with nice malty sharpness that peaks in the latter half of each sip. The medium viscosity feels solid and fully-burdened with flavor, and the salty-sweet balance leans slightly (and nicely) toward the former. Well above average in all respects, this won't disappoint from first eye contact to lasting afterglow.

Slightly less sweet than expected, which affords the (very average) cocoa flavor to sparkle just a second longer than it otherwise would. It's fairly balanced, fairly boring, and overall, a gnat's ass on the good side of fair.

Dead-center, unoffensive, competent but somehow incapable. What do you expect for a Holiday Inn Express breakfast bar? By now, I know exactly what to expect, and this is it. Fulfills modest expectations, and saps motivation from your soul and replaces it with liquid mediocrity. Trying to say something interesting about something uninteresting.

Knocks it out of the park on all levels-- luxurious, slightly grassy, buttery Jersey cream adorned with a punchy cooca flavor, a sweet/salty balance that favors the latter, and a velvety viscosity that disperses the goodness rapidly and evenly across all surfaces fortunate enough to partake. This is my first time trying this-- I already can't wait for the next.

Beefy creamline body that is asked to handle a lot of cocoa flavor, and it does so magnificently. The bold, medium cocoa presence adds to the girth and comes with a bit of a texture on the back end- but it still feels copacetic and is enjoyable to the last drop. Sweetness is kept to a supporting role, which furthers the chocolaty/creamy punch and lets it shine in the aftertaste. Excellent stuff.

Delicious, sharp-ish malty flavor resonates throughout, seemingly in lieu of a cocoa flavor-- sounds like a knock, but it's actually very tasty. The salty/malty flavor pairs well with the (relatively) thin viscosity and lovely creamline base. Fans of chocolate malt- take notice-- this will not disappoint.

Remarkably subtle-- and that's not a euphamism for bland. Upon first sip, its extremely lithe yet creamy base dances on the palate and leaves you with dark-ish cocoa footprints that form a cumulative indulgence rarely experienced in potable dairy confection. There's a maturity to the experience-- led by the uniquely delicious cocoa flavor, and enhanced by its confidence to challenge two traditionally commonly held chocolate milk paradigms-- (1) sweetness ie essential [false], and (2) the thicker the better [also false]. Drink this with deliberation, savor each sip, and be better for the experience.

Buttery, creamy, chocolaty, salty, grassy-- not necessarily in that order, but I'm doing my best to gather my thoughts after a mind-blowing experience. This is a glove-like fit for my personal tastes and proclivities, and it just gets everything right. There's nothing more rewarding than the deliciously warm, grassy afterglow on the back end of a fully-burdened cream flavor-- a reward that feels earned after many hundreds of pedestrian chocolate milks-- not pedestrian because they tried to be, but because they failed to try. Bravo.

A uniquely chocolate-forward cookies & cream flavor, which is a pleasant departure from the typical flavor profile-- if I didn't see the label, I would've assumed this was straight up chocolate milk. It's sweeter than it is chocolaty, and that is the prevailing presence in the early and late stages of the sip, with cocoa peaking in the middle.

Beautifully thin and smooth creamline body with a substantially sweet and chocolaty punch dominating the experience. The hefty cocoa presence remains throughout, and if you've got a sweet tooth, this stuff will definitely find it.
