Strong cocoa flavor, paired with more-than-ample sweetness and cream to create an indulgent-feeling chocolaty boisson. The texture is a tad on the starchy-feeling side, but overall it’s a very flavorful experience that far exceeds the UHT version.

Bam All Natural Chocolate Milk
Excellently creamy and mildly honey-laden flavor-- unfortunately, that's the extent of the flavor. This has serious potential, but seriously lacks a chocolaty presence. That said, it still drinks magnificently and has a great feel-- it's just on the bland side.
Sainsbury's On the Go Belgian Double Chocolate Flavoured Milk
Feels indulgent, but lacks direction. It’s light on cocoa flavor, which seems to be the only missing component, albeit a key one— especially when the label extols ‘Belgian Double Chocolate.’ Double? Double the calories, maybe, but not chocolate. It still tastes pretty darn good.
Lactel Matin Leger Chocolat au Lait
On the chalky side, but probably a result of the stronger than average cocoa flavor— perhaps an homage to Lactel Bio Chocolat Gourmand. Great choice from a flavor standpoint whether you require a lactose free chocolate milk or not.
Cecemel Demi-Ecreme
Not much of a downgrade from the standard version— the strong flavors are all still preset and the 11 calorie (per 100mL) difference seems negligible from a taste standpoint. The grain seemed a bit larger and more noticeable in this version.
Delhaize 365 Semi-Skimmed Cocoa Milk
Nice dash of cocoa flavor, paired with ample cream, sweetness, and a salty kick at the end. Plenty to like about this budget-friendly chocolate milk.
Chocomel Koud
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.

Tine E+ Plussdrikk Med Kakao
An absolute onslaught of flavor (and calories)! Each sip ends with salty whack that will cause your tongue to water-- a very interesting experience. There's so much packed into this drink that it screams for dilution— it’s the most caloric chocolate milk I’ve ever had (that doesn't have chocolate pieces suspended in it), and one that I will remember for years to come.
Tesco Kakaos Ital
Very strong cocoa flavor that would benefit tremendously from a more indulgent cream factor, enabling the cocoa flavor to last a few seconds more. Still, a nice surprise, and a welcome departure from store-brand mediocrity.
Auchan Kakaos Ital
Creamy and almost buttery— a welcome characteristic that appears in chocolate milk from time to time. It’s a taste that I associate with the Parmalat I had in Lisbon, and here it is again. All flavors are in good proportion, it’s solidly above average.
Merkur Immer Gut Kakao
Despite being (apparently) the same product as Billa Kakao, this did not have the strong earthy component, but instead had a straightforward chocolate flavor that melded nicely with the other features.
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.
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.
Chocomel (can)
Wow— proof that decent chocolate milk can come from, well… a can! Without having them side-by-side, I cannot tell a difference between this version and the carton version; kudos to Chocomel. It’s abundantly flavorful and has a unique, sourish-maltyish taste that goes down easy and feels like you did your taste buds a solid.
Ursi Schoko Drink (Whole)
Thin, fairly creamy, and a pleasant experience that improves with each sip. There's a satisfying simplicity to it that maintains your attention and prevents you from lusting after something with more apparent pizzazz.
Pucko Original Chokladmjölk
Highly reminiscent of Cocio Original-- which is not a bad thing. It manages that same unique flavor despite having 3 additional ingredients that Cocio doesn't (salt, calcium carbonate, flavor). Nicely thin texture, very drinkable, settles in the bottle and in the esophagus like chocolate milk should.
Hood Chocolate Whole Milk
Plenty sweet, and enough cream, malt, and cocoa flavor to be taken seriously. There is a slight powdery-ness that pervades the experience but it’s not egregious enough to curb the enjoyment.
TruMoo High Protein Chocolate Lowfat Milk
Much saltier and more flavorful than other TruMoo products I've had— perhaps that is a big part of what they were missing. Chocolate isn’t too prominent, but a strong maltiness is well executed and a pleasure to drink.
TruMoo PET Chocolate Whole Milk
Rich experience that could benefit from stronger cocoa flavor, but the proportions work well enough to warrant future pursuit.
