Nestle Nesquik UHT (Spain)

Very strange ribbon-candy like flavor upon initial swig. The cloying sweetness didn’t subside with subsequent tries. Texture feels artificially thickened and does not deliver a creamy taste. Grainy feel in the mouth when (thankfully) finished.

Cacaolat Zero

Nowhere near as flavorful as the Original Cacaolat (which is to be expected with the no added sugar label / Stevia)— it severely lacks salt, and the sweetness that is present is hard to taste without wincing. It looks the same, and the packaging is attractive, but not to be considered seriously for those without an aversion to added sugar.

M&Ms Drink

Hard for me to drink— it’s so overly thickened to the point that it is like trying to sip pudding. The taste is not anywhere near the effort, either. Cocoa taste is certainly there, but again, it’s not worth pursuing considering the lack of drinkability and unpleasant feel.

Cacaolat Original Batido De Cacao

Strong flavor, viciously attacks the sides and back of the tongue. Very unique and tasty, hard to describe— not quite ‘boozy’ (I wouldn’t like that) but not quite ‘buttery’— but the best qualities of both of those perhaps, if only a little. Sort of like drinking a truffle.

Gresso Com Chocolate

Pleasant but bland taste, the thin/smooth texture is its best attribute. Not overpoweringly flavorful in any particular direction, but sweetness is the most prominent. Has somewhat of a candy-like scent and feel to it.

Agros Leite Com Chocolate

Excellent tasting with a thin texture. Plenty of cocoa and salt to go along with it, and lower sweetness which keeps the cocoa the star of the show and predominant flavor. Some roughness left to the tongue after swallowing but doesn’t detract from the overall great experience.
