Decidedly average in nearly all facets, this is the dairy version of the straight-line-for-a-mouth-emoji. It's unoffensive, unobtrusive, unimaginative, uninspired. There's a slight astringency to the finish that probably makes it feel a tad chalky, but you have to be looking for it to notice. I suspect most people drinking this aren't searching for something deeper in each sip. I gave up after about 4 myself.

Undersweet for the genre, and a unique flavor that seems destined to nail the 'cream' part of the Oreo, without much of the 'cookie' part. The more I have it, the more I like, in part due to its thinly creamy base that flushes down my gullet with relative alacrity-- and the taste is starting to grow on me. Might take the whole quart before I can truly appreciate this stuff, or perhaps it's just pleasantly smooth and rather demure from a flavor standpoint. 

Powerful, mature, desserty cocoa flavor that glides atop a grassfed, creamline base-- delivering indulgence quickly and evenly, leaving no flavor receptors unstimulated. The grassy finish to each sip is a bonus, and adds punctuation at the end of each flavorful draw. Fans of thickness beware-- this stuff won't clog a drain, but it might be just what you need to ditch the chocolate milk-should-be-thick paradigm for good.

Simply delectable-- this aligns with so much of what I seek out in a chooclate milk. Thin viscosity to high creaminess ratio, a sweet/salty balance prominently in favor of the latter, a punchy-yet-mature cocoa flavor that shines throughout-- due to (and not in spite of) its supporting cast. The creamline body gilds whatever it comes into contact with: lips, tongue, soul-- and imparts a meaningful and lasting cocoa presence that transcends what it should be capable of in physical form. Ok, I'm getting a little flowery here, but doing my best to capture the aphorisms that swirl through as our biologies combine to form something greater than the sum our our individual parts.

Deep, mature cocoa flavor delivered in the best way possible-- through a thin and endlessly creamy non-homogenized base that engages your tastebuds early and often throughout the 5-second joyride that is each sip. Uniquely delicious, and even uniquely striking in appearance-- the bright brown (almost reddish) coloration accurately foreshadows a powerfully novel cocoa experience, and the creamline signature dusty bubbles languishing on the surface uphold their promise to extend the flavor into the aftertaste and beyond. And by 'beyond'-- I'm still thinking about this stuff and it's been over a month since I've had it.

Thick and sweet with a prominent, medium cocoa flavor that arrives early and stays late-- with the oft-used 'melted chocolate ice cream' metaphor an appropriate one here. It's got a lot of what your typical chocolate milk fan seeks-- strong sweetness, cocoa prominence, and some textural heft-- its popularity in this area is no surprise.

Wow- boldly malty, with a flavor that almost makes your mouth water upon initial contact. It's intentionally undersweet (33% less sugar) and much better for it! The sweet/salty balance is decidedly in favor of the latter, and I must say, each sip gets more interesting and enjoyable (and I liked the first one). Texture-wise, it's plenty beefy, carrying a bit of tactile grit likely from the cocoa, and the cream flavor is helped along by the salty snap. Uniqueness is fun-- this stuff is fun to drink, even for someone who has had over 1,800 chocolate milks to this point.

Powerfully sweet upfront, and it's a sweetness that lasts through to the end. It carries along a bright, medium cocoa flavor that is well balanced and strong enough to stand out from the sugary base. The sweetness feels heavy-handed, and I suspect that it's more of a 'feautre' than a 'bug' for most people-- but for me it's a tad distracting, as its other features are worthy of more of the limelight. Still, an objectively delicious treat will tickle your sweet tooth to a crying laughter.
