Great balance of thin, creamy, and uniquely flavorful. It contains hazelnut flavor, which is subtle and doesn't overpower the chocolate— like drinkable Nutella, just with a lot less sweetness.
REMA 1000 Kakao Skummetmaelk
The package is modestly better than the sum if its parts— it fits together nicely and definitely shouldn't offend anyone.
Matilde Favorit Kakao Skummetmaelk
Bland with a slightly nutty flavor that is an improvement over the sour/dirty flavor of the original. Considering the paucity of sugar in this product, it's not bad, but compared with normal chocolate milk, it’s still noticeably behind. Tastes better than expected, but my expectations could have stood tall beneath a pregnant tick.
Milbona Choco Milk
I would describe it as creamy and nutty— pretty unique, especially for a boxed multi-pack drink. Plenty of flavor to go around, and the residue left in the mouth afterward isn't as bad as the term ‘residue’ suggests.
Cocio Chocolate Flavour Milkshake
Thick and starchy feeling-- and a bit of an incongruous ‘cream’ flavor that reminds me of products that emulate butter, but aren’t quite butter. There’s ahint of cardboard in it as well, at least it strikes the back-roof of my mouth as such. Sweet, starchy, not worth the 102 cals / 100mL price tag.
Vores Mejeri Kakao Skummetmaelk
Highly drinkable texture but relatively flat, average flavors across the board. There’s a very minor acidity to the aftertaste that is only noticeable in the first sip or two.
Ollingegaard Mejeri Okologisk Chocomaelk
Awesome aesthetics— whether in its separated or shaken state. It’s a very unique flavor— heavily sour, but swept away by a luxuriously creamy wave. It’s remarkable, in the sense that I’ll remember it for a long time and at some point in my life another taste of something will transport me momentarily back to Copenhagen in remembrance.
Thise Okologisk Kakao Med Mere
Delightfully creamy and mature with a slight sour note to the cocoa flavor. No thickeners here— only 3 ingredients, which really nails the thin-yet-creamy feel that is one of the most important features (to me) of a great chocolate milk.
Thise Okologisk Kakaomaelk Laktosefri
Shockingly bitter upon first sip, but warms up quickly. I dig the uniqueness and the (way) under sweetened approach— it's memorable and reminds you that decent cocoa flavor doesn't require a ton of help.
Maelkebotte Kakao
Authentic chocolate flavor, beautiful brown color, and competent supporting cast of sweet, salt, and cream. Has a bit of a ‘thickened’ feel to it but it’s easy enough to overlook that given the other positives.
Cogo Kakaodrik
Reminiscent of Ucal (Portugal)-- has a great creamy taste without the unnecessary viscosity. The slightly sour cocoa flavor pairs nicely with the great texture. It settles quickly, which shouldn't be an issue— you’ll want to flush it down your esophagus posthaste.
Cocio Classic (can)
Starchy texture and nearly a burnt coffee-esque flavor. Not representative of the Cocio Classic that is packaged in glass— how could it be so different? And why?
Cocio Okologisk Chocolademaelk
Excellently thin, smooth, creamy, and darkish chocolaty. There’s a hint of chalk on the back end, but it still finishes predictably and competently. The best of the Cocio portfolio I’ve had yet (6 of them).
Arla Kids Kakao Minimaelk Drik
I don’t want to make light of child abuse, but please don’t feed this to your kids. I understand that there’s 50% less sugar, and that ‘taste’ is not the primary objective here, but it should have at least been considered.
Coop Kakao Maelkedrik
Gorgeous rich brown color that has a powdery chocolate flavor and a bit of a murky feel. The taste reminds me of a poor man’s Spar Kakao, which is probably higher praise than I should dole out.
Coop Kakao Skummetmaelk
Strong fake-banana flavor that permeates the experience. Knowing that this is likely not the intention, it just comes across as ‘funky’— not in a good way.
Matilde Kakao Milkshake
Like drinking gravy, without the ‘meat’ part of course. It’s super thick, but not due to a high cream quotient-- it’s just way over emulsified, I think to emulate richness. I don't have an issue with the flavor, but the texture feels so contrived that it’s difficult to isolate the two. If you fancy eating chocolate milk with a spoon, this could be your calling.
Matilde Okologisk
Not as sour as the original, but still chalky and also somehow watery. I think the flavor is different (spray paint?) than the original— not sure it’s better, and the texture seems confused.
Lille Lise Kakao
Sweet, thin, and exceptionally uninteresting.
Barebells Chocolate Flavor Milkshake
No added sugar, plenty of protein, and actually not tasteless or terribly offensive. The texture feels dense (a slight departure from ‘milky’) but the artificial sweeteners do their job well and the package is not only potable, but preferable (from a taste standpoint) to many others in the ‘recovery’ market.
