Rich experience that could benefit from stronger cocoa flavor, but the proportions work well enough to warrant future pursuit.

Promised Land Dairy Midnight Chocolate Milk
Buttery and chocolaty; calling it ‘overindulgent’ seems like a knock, but it actually is a bit too much. First sip is a blast of flavor, fourth sip is guilt inducing. Fifth was tasty with a side of regret. Buttery reside coats the mouth, glottis, and whatever else came in close contact.
Upstate Farms Low Fat Chocolate Milk
A bit light on the cocoa flavor but everything else is there and well balanced, maybe a tad too high on the sweetness end. Very thin and smooth as well which makes the drinking experience much more pleasurable.
Landliebe Milch Schoko
Thin, smooth, and very sweet— the flavor pops upon first taste. All things work in its favor, a pleasant experience from start to finish.
Spar Kakao Drink
The cocoa flavor is prominent and is very much a ‘darker’ chocolate taste, which lends itself to a feeling of lower sweetness and a minuscule sourness (not in a bad way). Only complaint is the grainy texture, but that is a minor gripe considering everything else is above average.
Nom To Go Schoko Milch
Very sweet and a tad malty, perhaps from the added starch, which is also noticeable texturally. The taste is good; both sweetness and salt are very punctuated, providing lots of flavor in small sips. Flavor gets decent marks, but the overly starchy texture lowers its ceiling.
Cremo Choky
Flavorful and thin, but more sweet than anything else. There are notes of salt, cream, and cocoa— a fairly well-rounded experience.
IFA Eliges Batido Al Cacao
Thin and flavorful, with strong cocoa, sweetness, and salt notes. Leaves no residue on the walls of the glass— almost seems to be water based, but enjoyable to drink.
Candia Viva Chocolat Noir
Very strong, dark cocoa taste delivered through a starchy-feeling drink that leaves a chalky residue in the mouth. One of the least-sugary tasting chocolate milks I’ve ever had— definitely dark cocoa is the star here and it shines brightly amidst textural drawbacks.
Carrefour Batido Al Cacao
Much thinner and smoother texture than the Carrefour Kids version. More sweet than chocolate, but it went down quickly— I was finished with the glass before I knew it. Noticeable amount of salt helps the flavor as well.
Ucal Leite Com Chocolate Light
Noticeably less sweet than the other Ucal products, same smoothness and fairly light cocoa taste. Considering the ‘light’ label (30% less fat) the flavor is still enjoyable and isn’t compensated for by dumping in extra sugar.
Auchan Leite Com Chocolate
Smooth going down and pleasant cocoa taste. It separates quickly and there is a grain left in the mouth post-swallow. Overall, a good chocolaty experience despite lower creaminess and saltiness notes.
Shaken Udder Chocolush
The cream and sweetness are cranked up pretty high but are let down by a weak cocoa presence. It's still quite enjoyable as it is, but you'll have to get your chocolate fix from somewhere else.
Cocio One Chocolate Milk
Thinner and less creamy than Cocio original, but very pleasant combination of thin/creamy/flavorful. Does have a bit of a watery feel to it that was not as present in the other Cocio types.
Mizo Kakaó
Very chalky and not overly sweet, but good taste and a pleasant overall experience.
Cocio Classic Chocolate Milk
Great color with a hint of metallic aftertaste. Not overpoweringly sweet, leaves a little residue in the back of the throat after each swallow, but overall a pleasant experience.
