Wow- I wasn't prepared for the ambush of flavor that this would wreak on my buds. It's sweet as heck, akin to drinking caramel straight from the Rolo factory spigot; a pretty indulgent feeling experience that was executed well.

Natrel Chocolate Partly Skimmed Milk
Well balanced with a creamy and salty punch to accentuate the chocolate. Kept coming back to this one for a sip here and there despite having 10+ other chocolate milk options in the fridge— it’s exceptionally drinkable.
Alpenrose Swiss Supreme Chocolate Milk
Not much chocolate to be found, but tons of cream, sweetness, and a decent dose of malt makes it wonderfully flavorful nonetheless. One of the most caloric products I’ve ever tasted, it’s like drinking melted ice cream (an overused cliché, but true here). With more cocoa, this could be elite.
Garry's Meadow Fresh All-Jersey Chocolate Milk
Rather thick and sports a noticeable grain- you almost need to chew it. It’s surprisingly bland as well, but finishes with a pleasantly creamy nod.
Morinaga Luxury Milk Cocoa
Good cocoa flavor and creaminess delivered through a smooth texture that is not bogged down by excess thickening or emulsification. If I lived in Japan, this would be a permanent fixture on my shopping list.
Moriyama Cocoa
Unique, but relatively subtle flavor that lacks the punch of the other Moriyama products. On its own though, it’s a nice overall package with ample cream, cocoa, and not-too-heavy sweetness that would get in the way of the others.
Nestle Nesquik Chocolate Milk UHT (South Korea)
The best Nesquik version I’ve had to date. It’s creamy, salty, and not overly sweet, comparing favorably to a sugary field of kids-oriented chocolate milks.
San Yuan Chocolate Milk
Very well balanced— flavorful without reliance on sweetness. A budget boxed chocolate milk that you wouldn't be embarrassed to serve in a wine glass.
Farmdaily Cocoa Milk
Chalky, but flavorful in all the right areas. It’s not over sweetened, which allows the salt/cream to compliment the chocolate and make it the star of the show.
Dairy Home Organic Chocolate Flavoured Milk
Coolest packaging I’ve yet to see— a thick plastic antifreeze-like container with a lot of heft. The taste was more toward the malty/rum-like end of the spectrum, but the great creamy quotient (without added thickness) made up for the lack of chocolate.
Foremost Yummy
Darker chocolate flavor that pairs well with a sweet pop. You could convince me that there is a touch of peanut butter in this (there isn’t).
Shamrock Farms Lowfat Chocolate Milk
Flavorful with noticeable cocoa and malt flavors and plenty of salt to maintain a satisfying aftertaste. Also a fleeting caramel-like note early on in the sip.
Kalona Super Natural Organic Whole Chocolate Milk
Great aesthetics and chocolate flavor, but a bit too thick for its own good. Tastes a lot sweeter than the stats indicate. Enjoyable, as a dessert-type drink, but too thick and sweet for everyday use.
Hornbacher's 2% Reduced Fat Chocolate Milk
Strong cocoa flavor that is reminiscent of chocolate syrup. Rather sweet, but overall very nice flavor held back primarily by the high(ish) viscosity.
Arps Dairy Chocolate Milk
Very sweet and (only) slightly rummy. Thickened but quite smooth and goes down very well. Lots of flavor, would benefit from toning the sweetness down a level or two.
Chocomel
Reminds me of Cacaolat, it’s very flavorful and leaves an aftertaste as well as a bit of a film in the mouth. The texture is pretty grainy, but it’s for a reason— there’s a lot of taste going on here. It’s easy to want more.
Landliebe Laktosefrei Milch Schoko
Same great texture as its lactic counterpart, but narrowly missing the excellent confluence of flavors. Still, this is a highly capable substitute for the normal version and remains a pleasure to drink.
Spar Schoko Drink
Sweeter than its Spar Kakao counterpart and absolutely silky smooth. Easy to drink this one quickly. Well balanced and excellent texture.
Coop Chocato Drink Dark
Incredibly strong cocoa taste, feels like you’re drinking a bar of baking chocolate. Flavorful and otherwise decently balanced, but I feel like I couldn’t drink a whole lot of it. Definitely the shining star of Swiss Coop products.
Bridel Breizh Lait Chocolat
Quite thick, but cocoa taste is very strong and the flavor is excellent. My only issue is with the thickness, which is highly subjective.
