Disturbingly bland-- definitely delivers on the “mild taste” claim but there's no “richness of cacao.”

Easily drinkable but the chocolate piece is much more towards the candy end of the spectrum than the cocoa end. There's also a hint of fruity aftertaste, just barely.

Fairly bland, but nicely proportioned. Competent at not trying to do too much.

Smooth as can be, yet creamy and enjoyably flavorful. It won't overpower you, but there's a mild sophistication to the experience.

Dark and salty—fortunately much more palatable than Marmite, but quite a unique combination going on here. The cocoa flavor is less mature than I would hope, and the thickness would benefit from being reined in a bit, but oddly, the package as a whole is fun while it lasts— which isn't long in a 180mL box.

Nasty, fruity taste reminiscent of a cheap chocolate-flavored candy stands above all else.

A touch on the bland side, but nothing feels unnatural. It’s silky smooth going down (akin to its UHT counterpart) and can hold its own amidst a field of sweeter and fattier offerings.

Amped-up flavor but extremely well-balanced and sophisticated feeling. Definitely worth the asking price, which I had assumed was mainly going toward Disney, but if it’s what’s inside that counts, this is a definite winner.

Sharp, sour, dark cocoa flavor that is not bathed in sugar— a very tasty experience that feels naughty.

Sweet, chocolaty, a little powdery, and fun to drink. Very smooth and palatable chocolate flavor, a touch on the darker side but anyone who enjoys cocoa products would gladly sidle up to one of these.

Fake cocoa taste— like it’s trying to emulate a powdery chocolate candy. Tries to make up for it with sweetness, but that works against it as well. Best to avoid altogether.

Like drinking a 90% chocolate bar— dark, barely sweet, indulgent, and satisfying. Doesn't feel gimmicky or like something for mass consumption— most people wouldn't prefer this, but for those of us who like dark chocolate, it’s beautiful.

Quite different from its Original counterpart, this version is wonderfully flavorful, authentic-feeling, and a tad malty.

Definitely has a strong cinnamon flavor that does not appeal to me. Aside from that, it’s very sweet and has an almost wet-cardboard aftertaste.

Shares the wet cardboard aftertaste that the cinnamon version had— a darker, intense chocolate experience, but hampered by the finish.

Hard to put a finger on it- but for me it tasted too much like the inside of the carton. Unremarkable, for sure, but the cocoa flavor wasn't as much ‘absent’ as it was ‘misdirected.’

Muted, yet inauthentic chocolate flavor that compares unfavorably even to Hershey’s Original. I’m not sure how effective the 5 additional calories (per 100mL) are here.

Looks beautiful when poured into a glass, but the taste has an unfortunate starchy quality that is especially noticeable post-swallow.

Synthetic look, feel, and taste to it. It reminds me of one of those non-dairy fortified supplement drinks. You could convince yourself that there's chocolate flavor in there somewhere, but why go through the anguish of drinking it.
