Flavorful and thin, but more sweet than anything else. There are notes of salt, cream, and cocoa— a fairly well-rounded experience.
Coop Jamadu Chocato Drink
Despite a creamy quality that you sense in the aftertaste, this is not a tasty chocolate milk. It lacks sweetness and cocoa flavor in a major way, and is not worth more than a couple of sips.
Emmi Micao Choco Drink
Texture is unnecessarily thick, and it is pretty much devoid of any type of flavor. Not recommended.
Migros Energy Drink Choco
Bland and not very chocolaty. High degree of chalk, not as flavorful as the Emmi Energy Milk Choco. Very missable, but not offensive.
Emmi Energy Milk Choco
Decent flavor for what it is, but not overly chocolaty. The flavor is a rather mildly malty one, it’s better than no flavor at all (like Migros Energy Drink Choco). The salt is definitely more noticeable as well, which helps significantly.
Okey
Very strange flavor, which to me is reminiscent of anise/licorice. Extremely thin and smooth, but the flavor is off-putting for one expecting chocolate milk.
IFA Eliges Batido Al Cacao
Thin and flavorful, with strong cocoa, sweetness, and salt notes. Leaves no residue on the walls of the glass— almost seems to be water based, but enjoyable to drink.
Cantero De Letur Batido De Cacao Ecológico
Creamy taste balances well with the lower level of sweetness, very enjoyable and surprisingly simple ingredients.
Grandeur Nature Lait Chocolaté Biologique
Despite the same ingredients as Le Gall Bio, this was much more pleasant tasting (no rum-like quality)— perhaps the Le Gall Bio was past its prime? This is a relatively bland drink with moderate cocoa flavor and sweetness.
Banania
Has a choco-banana flavor that is not as heavy-handed as I had expected. When tried alongside other chocolate milks, the banana part stands out, but on its own, it’s not as easy to tell. Decently tasty drink with a slightly thinner than average texture but some (fine) particulates. Technically this is out of scope, but what the heck.
Bridel Breizh Lait Chocolat
Quite thick, but cocoa taste is very strong and the flavor is excellent. My only issue is with the thickness, which is highly subjective.
Leader Price Leader Up Boisson Lactee Au Cacao
Overall impression is bland and thicker than expected— both negative qualities. There is a hint of mineral-y taste that might not be detectable in a more flavorful drink. Doesn’t stand out.
Leader Price Boisson Lactée Au Cacao
Well-rounded and pleasurable. A nice salty snap at the end brings everything together and leaves you wanting more.
Lactel Max Chocolat
Very sweet, almost caramel-y / candy-like flavor. Seems like a taste that kids would like; its sweetness makes it stand out, but ultimately brings it down in the long run. Simply too cloying to drink a lot of.
Auchan Boisson Au Lait Choco
Thinner than I expected, and not overly sweet— allowing cocoa to be the predominant quality. There’s a nice simplicity to it.
Candia Viva Chocolat Noir
Very strong, dark cocoa taste delivered through a starchy-feeling drink that leaves a chalky residue in the mouth. One of the least-sugary tasting chocolate milks I’ve ever had— definitely dark cocoa is the star here and it shines brightly amidst textural drawbacks.
Candia Candy Up Chocolaté
Super smooth and thin texture, accompanied by a decent cocoa flavor and sweet/salty balance. Only a slight tang (in the back of the throat and sides of tongue) mars the otherwise tasty and drinkable milk.
Cacolac
Super thin and smooth, I wanted to like it more than I actually did. There’s an off-putting skunkiness to the flavor that is not particularly subtle. I like the experience of siphoning chocolate milk out of a can, but can’t deny that the chocolate flavor is largely absent in favor of a much more foul one.
Lactel Bio Chocolat Gourmand
Much more cocoa taste than sweetness, which is a welcome difference. Feels highly dark-chocolate inspired, and pulls that off well in liquid form. Its dark appearance is nicely congruent with the taste, very well executed.
Casino Boisson Lactée Au Cacao
Has somewhat of a fruity sweetness to it, looks very attractive in the glass but the taste doesn’t deliver.
