From texture to cocoa to cream flavor to sweet/salty balance to the gorgeous visuals-- this squarely strikes every note with an assertive brilliance and yet somehow still manages to be greater than the sum of its parts. Not only the best raw chocolate milk I've had thus far, but one of the very best I've had in recent memory. And I have a pretty good memory.
Simply delectable-- this aligns with so much of what I seek out in a chooclate milk. Thin viscosity to high creaminess ratio, a sweet/salty balance prominently in favor of the latter, a punchy-yet-mature cocoa flavor that shines throughout-- due to (and not in spite of) its supporting cast. The creamline body gilds whatever it comes into contact with: lips, tongue, soul-- and imparts a meaningful and lasting cocoa presence that transcends what it should be capable of in physical form. Ok, I'm getting a little flowery here, but doing my best to capture the aphorisms that swirl through as our biologies combine to form something greater than the sum our our individual parts.
Deep, mature cocoa flavor delivered in the best way possible-- through a thin and endlessly creamy non-homogenized base that engages your tastebuds early and often throughout the 5-second joyride that is each sip. Uniquely delicious, and even uniquely striking in appearance-- the bright brown (almost reddish) coloration accurately foreshadows a powerfully novel cocoa experience, and the creamline signature dusty bubbles languishing on the surface uphold their promise to extend the flavor into the aftertaste and beyond. And by 'beyond'-- I'm still thinking about this stuff and it's been over a month since I've had it.
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.
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.
Confident upfront saltiness sets the tone for a modeslty grassy onslaught of creamy goodness to which many aspire, but few attain. The medium-to-malty cocoa flavor pops in the latter half of the sip, tapers slowly amidst the buttery afterglow, before finally exiting like a gracious houseguest-- leaving you wanting more. So buy more than you think you need.
Deliciously well balanced and strong flavor that leads with a salty-sweet-malty cocoa punch that fades swiftly but leaves you with a warm, creamy coating and a lustful desire for the next sip. It's thinner than many of its peers, affording it a bit more alacrity on the palate-- making sure all of your tastebuds are engaged, aroused, and beyond satisfied.
Devastating combination of buttery cream and malty cocoa with a gorgeously appropriate salty snap on the back end, making this one of the best creamline chocolate milks I've had all year. Each sip is a wholly satisfying treat in itself-- buy more than you think you can comfortably store.
There's a John Wayne-esque quiet confidence that comes through in a chocolate milk that dares to be (traditionally) under-sweet and unapologetically creamy. I would describe the cocoa flavor as a subtle maltiness that plays more of a supporting role to its warm, buttery, 100% grass-fed creamy base. Real chocolate milk should need to be shaken up. Real chocolate milk should treat sweetness with a deft touch. This is the real deal.
Sharply flavorful with a unique salty-maltiness to the cocoa flavor that works wonders in concert with the creamline base. Each sip is satisfying, yet addicting-- in that I want more as soon as I put down the cup. Likely, I have a problem. But this stuff does not. Wow!
Absolutely annihilates that ideal thin-viscosity-to-high-creaminess-ratio that I so covet so much, delivering a fantastic dark and slightly mature cocoa flavor to any and all nearby flavor receptors. There's a grassy butteriness to the cream that ensures maximum flavor extension on the back end with no deterioration whatsoever-- it's flawless from start to finish, the only problem being that the bottle doesn't magically refill itself. All Kentucky roads should lead to Springfield-- I just saved it into my 'favorites' on my GPS.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, yes, and yes. That's the most intelligent thought sequence that I can string together when this hits my palate. Rarely does a chocolate milk strike so many notes with such perfect resonance-- from the viscosity-to-creaminess ratio to the mature-but-still-'cool' cocoa flavor to the salt-forward grassy punch-- everything works magnificently. If there's a such thing as a 'gateway drug' to micro-craft dairy-- this will bust the doors wide open.
Screams 'quality' from first sip to pensive afterglow-- it's immediately delicious, meticulously cocoa-focused, and devilishly creamy; 4 ingredients arranged in a way that seems to maximize the best parts of what nature and nurture can combine to provide in potable format. Mature cocoa flavor strikes early and often thanks to a lithe Jersey cream that sports my ideal (high) viscosity to (high) creaminess ratio. It's indulgent and desserty, yet accessible enough for an every day drinker. In a word: divine.
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.
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!
Few chocolate milks strike a perfect note on all accords-- it's luxuriously buttery and creamy, with a strongly confident wildness that reminds you where it came from. It's strongly chocolaty and slightly more salty than sweet, which compliments the cream flavor and quells any would-be sugary aftertaste. Quite simply, this is what all young chocolate milks should aspire to be when they grow up.
