Straightforward chocolate malt taste that one would expect, adequately chocolaty and creamy for a decently thin and smooth texture.
Dutch Mill Selected Chocolate Flavoured Milk
Scent and flavor uncannily reminiscent of Dairy Queen chocolate ice cream. Could use a stronger salt quotient, but still a pretty flavorful (and sentimental) experience.
Ovaltine Milk (Thailand)
Vitamin-y smell and twang. Sweeter and malty, not a strong cocoa presence at all. Tasty enough for what it is, but a bit distant from what chocolate milk should be.
Thai-Denmark Chocolate Flavoured Milk
The taste fades too quickly— almost like there’s a wateriness to it that causes the flavor to exit right away. Easy to send down the hatch, but left with a “for what?” feeling.
Dutch Mill Premium Dark Chocolate Milk
Tons of flavor, all executed well. Pretty luxurious experience, though I would enjoy it even more if the thickness were dialed back a notch or two.
Foremost Yummy
Darker chocolate flavor that pairs well with a sweet pop. You could convince me that there is a touch of peanut butter in this (there isn’t).
Chokchai Farm Cocoa Flavoured Milk
Creamy and almost ‘nutty’— it’s not very sweet nor chocolaty but feels somewhat indulgent and can hold its own.
Meiji Low Fat Chocolate Flavoured Milk
Fruit-punch like sweetness that is off-putting from the start, throwing off whatever cocoa flavor there is and ruining the package.
Darigold Old Fashioned Chocolate Milk
Excellent combination of thin/smooth/creamy which is difficult to pull off. It is very sweet, and lacks a strong enough cocoa presence to compete with the sweetness.
Lala Chocolala Chocolate Low Fat Milk
Chalky, thin but slightly rough, and decently chocolaty. The pieces fit together nicely for an above average drink.
Simple Truth Organic Whole Chocolate Milk
Creamy, but still has the same (almost) minty/paste-like flavor that was present in the low fat version.
Kroger Lactose Free 1% Lowfat Chocolate Milk
Could use a bit more cocoa flavor but excellent balance and easy to enjoy. In a fridge full of chocolate milk, I found myself repeatedly reaching for this one until it was gone.
Lucerne Dairy Farms Chocolate Lowfat Milk
Plasticky sweetness to it that overpowers much of the rest. Tingles a bit in the back of the throat, grabs your uvula and refuses to let go.
Simple Truth Organic Low Fat Chocolate Milk
Less sweetness enables a sourish note to come out. Chalky, and the flavor reminds me of when I used to eat the occasional dollop of paste as a child. I liked it then, and don’t hate it now.
Lucerne Dairy Farms Ultra-Pasteurized Chocolate Lowfat Milk
Good chocolate flavor delivered through a relatively thick, chalky texture. Abundantly sweet, which detracts from the overall experience.
Kroger CarbMaster Ultra-Filtered Nonfat Chocolate Milk
Everything is a miss here, from the overly emulsified texture to the noticeably unnatural sweetness that makes your mouth water (not in a good way). I’ve had worse, only because I’ve tried about 260 others to this point.
Shamrock Farms Lowfat Chocolate Milk
Flavorful with noticeable cocoa and malt flavors and plenty of salt to maintain a satisfying aftertaste. Also a fleeting caramel-like note early on in the sip.
Rock View Family Farms Lowfat Chocolate Milk
A relatively flat, uninspired cocoa taste that is reminiscent of many private label gallon jugs. Decidedly average and forgettable.
Shamrock Farms No Sugar Added Lowfat Chocolate Milk
Valiant effort for a ‘no sugar added’ version. Artificial sweetness is not overdone, cream is good, cocoa is a bit hard to find— but overall still enjoyable.
Danzeisen Dairy Chocolate Milk
Nicely creamy, but little else in the flavor department that stands out. It doesn’t try to do too much, and has an enjoyable simplicity that makes drinking both pleasurable and effortless.
