Strong overall flavor, and a lot of what I get is sweetness, which is not what you’d expect from a ’25% less sugar’ product. I suspect the monk fruit extract, which is 150-200x sweeter than sugar, is a bit overplayed here, upstaging the ‘double chocolate’ element.
I was expecting some sort of ‘crispy’ aggregate suspended in the milk, but instead I guess it’s an attempt to emulate a crunchy toffee bar(?). It does deliver sufficiently on that but it's a bit too sweet for me, and the toffee experience is not one that is enhanced through flavored milk, in my view. Still flavorful enough to be considered average despite the drawbacks.
Wow- I wasn't prepared for the ambush of flavor that this would wreak on my buds. It's sweet as heck, akin to drinking caramel straight from the Rolo factory spigot; a pretty indulgent feeling experience that was executed well.
If ‘potting soil’ and ‘paint thinner’ had a baby, this would be the amniotic fluid. This isn’t really chocolate milk in the purest sense, it’s definitely a ‘health shake’— and it may deliver on that, but if it’s taste you’re after, spread garbage disposal gleanings on a cracker instead.
Tasty and dense— doesn't feel like the consistency of milk in the mouth, but isn’t off-putting. Has a more mature, malty and not too flashy flavor that beseeches further consumption.
Has that signature Nesquik flavor, which is easier to appreciate with less sweetness. The texture is chalky and grainy, expect lots of particulates to stick to the inside of the glass (though most will siphon it straight from the box). Not a bad lower-sugar option.
Bland and uninteresting, but not offensive. Doesn’t take too many chances, and neither should you— buy something else.
Definitely not sweet and has a wheaty taste reminiscent of one of those grain-based breakfast-replacement concoctions. The taste isn’t nasty, just not what ‘chocolate milk’ should be.
Much more noticeable malt quotient than the rest of the Dairyland portfolio, and it’s more prominent than the chocolate for sure. Averagely sweet and creamy and a lot else is straight down the middle.
Saltier and more similar to the 946mL version with more malt than chocolate, but there’s a residue that hangs in the back of your throat afterward.
Caramel is by far the most prominent flavor, which was a surprise, but not necessarily a bad one. Each subsequent sip got better and better— it’s got a great creaminess to it that is not overly thick or starchy feeling.
Fairly bland, the stevia leaf taste kicks in post-swallow and mars an otherwise tasteless experience. As far as reduced sugar versions go, it's not bad— but compared with average chocolate milk, especially side-by-side, it can’t compete.
A tad salty and a fair dose of malt as well- has a buttery quality to the finish which was a welcome surprise.
Well balanced with a creamy and salty punch to accentuate the chocolate. Kept coming back to this one for a sip here and there despite having 10+ other chocolate milk options in the fridge— it’s exceptionally drinkable.
Powdery and chalky but delivers a good malty flavor that finishes with a touch of sweetness and implores you to take the next sip.
Thinner, sweeter, and darker— but the chocolate tasted slightly less authentic to me than the Milk Chocolate version. Still, the fact that I didn’t have to chew it was a plus, giving it a slight edge over its lighter counterpart.
Great look and strong cocoa flavor that is clearly the focus. The texture kills it though, for me— it’s very thick and has a starchy quality to it (as opposed to a cream-induced thickness).
Aside from sweetness, the only other taste I’m getting is a mild wheaty flavor. It’s pretty smooth, but not a very chocolaty experience.
Beautiful coffee-brown coloration and oddly an aged, coffee-esque flavor. I hope I’m not influenced by the look too much, but it has a bitter kick to it that is not unpleasant, it reminds me of sweetened coffee. Unique, I like it.
Tons of flavor, about as sweet as one could stomach, yet it still tastes pretty good. If you melted cookies ’n’ creme ice cream, strained out the solid bits, and thinned out the texture-- this is pretty much what you'd get. It’s not disappointing from that perspective.
