Very unique taste— not chocolate, not malt, not the usual suspects when you’re sampling chocolate milk. It’s an onslaught of salt with a wheaty / starchy flavor and feel. Coats the inside of your mouth with an oily-feeling residue.

Purmil Ghana Choco Milk (UHT)
Disturbingly bland-- definitely delivers on the “mild taste” claim but there's no “richness of cacao.”
Denmark Milk Chocolatier Cinnamon
Definitely has a strong cinnamon flavor that does not appeal to me. Aside from that, it’s very sweet and has an almost wet-cardboard aftertaste.
Seoul F&B Barbapapa Chocolate Milk
Has a density that feels unnatural-- like it's some sort of lab concoction instead of flavored milk. There’s a sour, not-quite-boozy taste to the experience-- not what I’m looking for.
Ehrmann Chocolate Milkshake
So incredibly sweet that it burns the back of your throat. Tons of flavor here, but it’s all blanketed in so much sugar, that after even the tiniest sip, you can feel your pancreas kick into hyperdrive.

Nestle Milo (China) [208mL plastic]
Seems to have the same look, feel, and taste of the 200mL box version, but there is a slight nuance to the flavor- it’s a bit more malty than vitamin-y, and a tad more pleasant as a result, but not enough to warrant a higher score.

Nestle Milo (China) [200mL box]
Different look, feel, and taste from Milos I had in other countries. It’s more of a medium-brown, and has a chalky, vitamin-y taste that you would expect from a fortified drink. Drying to the mouth, sobering to the taste buds.
Vitamilk Champ Chocomalt (UHT)
Much less soylike than the bottled ‘Double Choco’— but this version has a slight sweetness as its only discernible flavor. No chocolate to be found.
F&N Magnolia Ginko Plus Chocolate Milk
Tastes like a soy product, or some other type of non-milk product. Chalky and understated sweetness, it’s not offensive for what it is. But I’m not sure what it is.
Meiji Low Fat Chocolate Flavoured Milk
Fruit-punch like sweetness that is off-putting from the start, throwing off whatever cocoa flavor there is and ruining the package.
Yoohoo Chocolate Drink (glass)
Probably should be out of scope, as it’s not really milk, it is a widely known drink in America. Thin, silky smooth, watery, sweet; still not a viable replacement for relatively average chocolate milk.
Cass-Clay Fat Free Chocolate Skim Milk
Lacking in much of what makes chocolate milk taste good, but I've had much worse. A skim option is necessary but not recommended here if you’re looking for flavor.
Horizon Organic Chocolate Lowfat Milk (UHT)
Thicker than expected, not overly sweet, and cocoa flavor is extremely difficult to locate. The predominant flavor is ‘milkiness’ which may appeal to some, but generally, there’s little here to appeal to anyone.
Organic Valley Chocolate Low Fat Milk (UHT)
Very salty and otherwise flavorless— a far cry from what you would expect. There is a creamy presence as well but without anything else to balance against, this is an unfortunate miss.
Münsterland Classico Kakao-Drink
Watery, sort of malty but too diluted to carry much of any flavor. More preferable to a lot of other ‘diet’ versions, as it’s nicely thin and goes down without a fight.
Penny Schoko Drink (Low Fat)
Noticeably thinner than its whole milk counterpart, but more or less tasteless, which is not much of a departure from the fattier version.
Coop Chocato Drink
Chalky and not particularly sweet or chocolaty. Decent amount of grain left on the tongue after consumption. It’s passable on its own, but when compared with others, its blandness becomes very evident.
Delisse Boisson Lactée Chocolatée
Bland, and what flavor does come through is pretty earthy. Nothing else stands out.
Puleva Batido Al Cacao
Texture is a bit grainy and has somewhat of a plastic-y feel in my opinion. The flavor is not overpowering in any direction, a fairly bland milk with undesirable texture (which is harder to sense through a straw than via a glass).
Dia Leite Com Chocolate
Sweet and salty but no noticeable cocoa taste. There’s a fruity-ish quality to the taste which reminded me of children's medicine. Chalky finish for such a thin texture.
