Somewhat creamy but otherwise bland. Texture is smooth but there is no noticeable chocolate flavor to keep you interested. The predominant flavor is one of wheat, almost beerlike.
Migros Choco Drink Lactose Free
Noticeably more flavorful from the normal (lactose-containing) version perhaps because of the salty snap at the end of the taste. Pleasantly smooth and balanced taste.
Coop Chocato Drink 0.2 Percent Fat
Super chalky and powdery cocoa taste that feels unnatural. Could use some salt at the very least to bring it together.
Coop Chocato Drink Lactose Free
Watery, no creaminess nor salt, a bizarre experience. Doesn’t seem like milk is even involved here.
Coop Chocato Drink Dark
Incredibly strong cocoa taste, feels like you’re drinking a bar of baking chocolate. Flavorful and otherwise decently balanced, but I feel like I couldn’t drink a whole lot of it. Definitely the shining star of Swiss Coop products.
Coop Chocato Drink
Chalky and not particularly sweet or chocolaty. Decent amount of grain left on the tongue after consumption. It’s passable on its own, but when compared with others, its blandness becomes very evident.
Ok.- Choco-Drink
Exactly what it claims to be: “OK.” Very similar in look and taste (and ingredients) to Cremo Choky, and only slightly less flavorful as far as I could tell. The sweetness seemed to have just a tiny bit of fruity quality, which I did not detect in the Choky.
Cremo Choky
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.
