Fairly bland upon first taste, then devolves to a grainy-ish, salty, yet creamy quality that’s difficult to adjust to. I’m left longing for more chocolate and a more satisfyingly punctuated finish.
Super smooth, very creamy and malty, but not particularly chocolaty. Manages to feel indulgent without a significant flavor punch.
Powerfully malty to an extent that you double-check the label, which says ‘chocolate.’ Lovers of malt will find this irresistible, those expecting chocolate will be disappointed. I like it more for its uniqueness than anything else— it’s a pleasant departure from the bog-standard chocolate milk you typically find in gas stations.
Salty, malty, and rather powdery— leaving your mouth dry and longing for stronger chocolate flavor. The creaminess is its best attribute and is executed well, but undercut by the powdery/grainy texture.
Wow, just wow. Incredibly indulgent feeling, yet easy to drink. Salty, malty, creamy— all in excess, and I love it. It’s mature, balanced, and melts in your mouth— absolutely PHENOMENAL!
Surprisingly grainy, but otherwise nicely sweet and balanced chocolate milk. Does well to preserve a creamy flavor with only 1% fat as well.
Slightly thicker and ‘fuller’ than its 355mL plastic bottle counterpart (different formulation)— in this case it works to PERFECTION. The added skim milk powder gives it a more potent milkiness that adds punch to the overall flavor. Simply one of the best chocolate milks I’ve ever had.
A perfect example of where ‘thickness’ is justified by the creaminess. This is indulgent without being ostentatious, as the cream is more prominent than the cocoa, which comes through more in the latter half of the sip— as though the cream delivers it to the tongue and tiptoes away quietly— but you appreciate the act more so than the gift itself.
Buttery and smooth— superbly drinkable for a whole milk concoction. The cocoa flavor is subtle and mainly kicks in during the latter half of the sip.
Awesomely creamy, but carries more of a sugary flavor than one of cocoa or malt. It’s not a huge detriment, but everything else is so good that it’s easy to pick on the quality that isn’t quite there. Still, a very strong recommendation— this stuff is great.
Salty, chalky, and chocolaty but has a slight earthy, dare I say, approachingly dirty taste. It’s plenty creamy as well, especially for being low fat, but it does wash away faster than expected, leaving you with the salt and chalk. This may sound more negative than it is in practice— I’m nitpicking probably because my expectations were higher.
A velvety creaminess wrests control of the wheel and steers you though each sip— a blissful ride that unfortunately ends with an empty glass.
Great milky texture and cream quotient, but in lieu of cocoa flavor is a bland sweetness that feels lost. In some ways it reminds me of a white jellybean— you taste it, and kind of like it, but have no idea what ‘flavor’ it really is.
Possibly as average a chocolate milk in all respects that I’ve had thus far. It’s plainly identifiable as chocolate milk by all 5 senses and peppers the midsection of each subjective category.
Has an almost pinkish-brown coloration, and is super-sweet above all else. I can’t locate much of any cocoa flavor— just a thin, sugary drink that emulates milk fairly well, but won’t satisfy your chocolate craving one iota.
Lots of flavor— especially salty/sweet, which provides a ‘malted milkshake’ like taste that, while amped up pretty high, doesn’t offend or feel terribly out of place. It does have a weighty feel to it, but overall it’s reminiscent of a very sweet milkshake.
Not overly chocolaty but smooth, creamy, and malty for a lowfat chocolate milk. The salt is at least as prominent as the sweetness which maintains a drinkable balance that comes off as genuine.
No chocolate whatsoever, and a modest sourness that lands in the back of the throat. It’s sort of creamy, but honestly tastes too much like its container.
Ahh.. Has that same salt/malt combination that I had come to expect from Byrne Dairy— it’s outstanding. The chocolate piece is subtle, but you’re unlikely to care much as everything else is great. Reminiscent of Heidi in Switzerland, which is high praise.
A highly salty and slightly cardboard-y take on the cookies-n-cream flavor (it compares poorly to the Hershey’s versions). The sweetness and cream help the drinkability considerably, but it’s far inferior to its chocolate counterpart.
