Great visuals offset by a unique, funky taste that brings about a slight cooling sensation (perhaps that’s intentional?). It almost tastes like some kind of weird sweetened coffee with menthol in it.
Tatra Kravik Kakaovy
The hockey-playing cow on the package is definitely the high point. It’s less-sweet (no issues there) but has a strong sour and boozy twang that is an unwelcome departure from the chocolate you expect.
Milk In Kefirove Mleko Coko
100% unconsumable. Smells like vinegar, drinks like rotten salad dressing (provided salad dressing can rot)— way worse than I remember when I first had* it 5 years ago. *Had = took one sip, thinking it was chocolate milk, and spewed it all over Prague’s lovely Old Town streets. To be fair, it’s some kind of fermented kefir drink, but “Milk In,” “Mléko čoko,” the cow and chocolate graphics on the outside might be enough to fool someone into thinking it's chocolate milk.
Meggle Active Protein Cokolada
Chalky, grainy, and terrible flavor that is closer to anise (black licorice) than cocoa. I’ve had a lot of protein-enriched chocolate milks in recent months, and most are more palatable than this.
Tip Schoko Drink (Low Fat)
Strange flavor that most wouldn’t slap the ‘chocolate’ label onto. Decent texture and milky feel, but a sour flavor approaching that is more in the ‘rum’ direction than that of cocoa.
Tip Schoko Drink (Whole)
Good texture and creamy flavor but the underlying flavor that the cream supports is more wet-cardboard than luscious chocolate. A dash or two more of salt would certainly help to ameliorate the issue.
real,- Quality Frische Schoko-Milch
Beautiful to watch it cascade out of the bottle and into a glass-- but the aesthetics set a high bar that is hard to live up to. In short, it’s got punchy flavor but way too heavy on the sweetness end. The first sip is a nice surprise, but the 4th and 5th are a bit much.
Bauer Schoko Protein Drink
Seems like a contradiction in terms, but this is SO memorably bland. It tastes like nothing at all— not water, not air, but maybe like plain 1% milk, without the ‘milk’ flavor though (whatever that is). Almost always, these protein drinks have some sort of weird flavor, sweetener, texture, etc.— but not this one. Four years ago, in Berlin (for my birthday) we did the float tank (Float Berlin); this is the drinkable version of sensory deprivation.
Kaufland Milkshake Schoko
Very reminiscent of the American Style Milkshake from Netto— candylike chocolate flavor in a super-emulsified texture that feels unnatural. There’s no salt quotient at all (which is essential in a milkshake) so it just goes way too far in the sweet/thick direction.
Kaufland Laktosefrei Chocolate Flavored Milk Drink
Sweet and salty, though the sweetness feels forced and does not mesh well with the rest of the product. I’ve certainly had worse, but there are a lot of better lactose free options out there.
Kaufland Drink Mit Kakao
Water-thin and marked by an earthy/wheaty unpleasantness. Not recommended.
Kaufland Schokodrink (Low Fat)
Noticeable saltiness that helps to curry a malty flavor, helping to make up for the lack of strong cocoa presence.
Kaufland Schokodrink (Whole)
Cream and salt work together to deliver a flavorful, malty experience that can be yours for a mere $0.54. The added fat takes the same decent flavor of the low fat version and helps it to shine even more.
Happy Drink Schoko Low Fat
Bland, boring, pointless. And those are the positive aspects.
Milcobel Choco! Choco!
Sweet, salty, adequately chocolaty, and with a little buttery snap at the conclusion of each sip. Pretty good find for subway station vending machine fare.
Hemme Milch Trinkschokolade
Creaminess definitely upstages the cocoa aspect, but it's a tasty experience underscored with malt that gets better with each sip. Felt like this version was slightly sweeter than the bagged version in a side-by-side comparison.
Hemme Milch Schoko
Creaminess definitely upstages the cocoa aspect, but it's a tasty experience underscored with malt that gets better with each sip.
Edeka Schoko Drink
Thin texture, but otherwise rather straight down the middle from a flavor perspective. Competent, non-offensive, a solid 5.
Mark Brandenburg Frische Schoko-Milch
Starchy, sour, rummy— nothing good going on here.
OK.- Choco-Drink (330mL)
Definitely a vitaminy taste that borders on metallic and somewhat of a fugazi texture. I would consider the “OK” on the label to be a bit of an overstatement.
