Gorgeous light brown coloration and a pretty flavorful experience, both chocolaty and sweet in decent proportion. Nicely satisfies the chocolate milk jones, should you have one (I have several per day).

a2 Milk Chocolate
Adequately creamy, averagely chocolaty, and pleasant— despite a mildly pervasive aura that I can best describe as that slightly minty paste you may or may not have consumed as a child. Texture-wise, it sports a substantial build with a relatively clean, adhesive-free finish.
Hatcher Family Dairy Jumpin Jimmy
Tastes a lot less exciting than ‘Jumpin Jimmy’ may suggest— but that’s not a bad thing. What you get here is a relatively undersweet, chalky, chocolaty drink that sports neither a caffeinated nor protein-y flavor. It will give you a bit of a jolt though, if you're not used to it.
Shamrock Farms Rockin' Refuel Lowfat Chocolate Milk
Sweet and chocolaty, with plenty of excusable chalk. The flavor is not to be overlooked here, it is rather strong and true— I must say that I’m both surprised and impressed. Your mouth will dry out from the heavy chalk, but you’ll effortlessly rationalize another sip, and another…
Horizon Organic High Protein Chocolate Lowfat Milk
Has a unique, sharp malt flavor that outshines the cocoa flavor but should maintain your interest throughout. The powerful malt accentuates the ‘creamy’ aspect over the ‘sweet’ one, and it works rather well here.
Cadbury Caramilk Caramel Chocolate Milkshake
Highly sweet and accurate caramel flavor— fans of a caramel/chocolate mix should be put on notice. It’s dense, but has a pleasing feel and though the flavor is cranked up to peak levels, it remains enjoyable in moderation.
Pittsford Farms Dairy Chocolate Milk (473mL)
Salty, malty, and rather powdery— leaving your mouth dry and longing for stronger chocolate flavor. The creaminess is its best attribute and is executed well, but undercut by the powdery/grainy texture.
Santa Clara Lechita Helado de Chocolate
Flavorful chocolate milk that doesn’t stray too far in any direction. There’s a quiet confidence about it, and the experience is chocolaty and mature feeling. The chocolate ice cream on the label is not hyperbole, this does feel indulgent, and stands above the field of Mexican chocolate milk so far.
Santa Clara Lechita Helado de Chocolate (200mL box)
Flavorful chocolate milk that doesn’t stray too far in any direction. There’s a quiet confidence about it, and the experience is chocolaty and mature feeling. The chocolate ice cream on the label is not hyperbole, this does feel indulgent, and stands above the field of Mexican chocolate milk so far.
Cream-O-Land Dairy Extra Rich & Creamy Chocolate Milk
Great milky texture and cream quotient, but in lieu of cocoa flavor is a bland sweetness that feels lost. In some ways it reminds me of a white jellybean— you taste it, and kind of like it, but have no idea what ‘flavor’ it really is.
Envia Mister Drop Cacaoté
Well rounded boxed chocolate milk with a thin creaminess that is appreciated. This contributes to an (admittedly) intangible good ‘feel’, which, along with the appropriate level of sweetness, does well to support its ample cocoa flavor.
Laiterie Les Fayes Le Lait Chocolaté des Limousins
Brilliantly brown-reddish, quite chocolaty, but also quite chalky. I love the cocoa flavor and how it is the true star of the show here, but there's something about the texture that takes me out of the experience, as it’s too thick/starchy/chalky and not ‘milky' feeling enough to propel it into the upper echelon.
U Lait Chocolat
Creamy, flavorful, and even has a momentary velvety feel, which you may not get through the straw. There's a chalkiness that isn't off putting either-- it seems to serve as more of a confirmation that there’s a microscopic flavorful bit in each sip.
Dunnes Chocolate Milk
Strongly sour cocoa flavor that dominates the experience, in part due to the noticeably dialed-back sweetness (a welcome feature). You can taste the sourness well beyond the swallow, and while very unique, it was the only thing I didn’t care for.
Mooju Fresh Chocolate Milk
Super smooth and malty with a salty snap that both marks the end of each sip and creates desire for the next.
Dilea Choco
There's a pleasant caramel quality to it that isn’t hampered by an aftertaste or any other type of phoniness that you often get with that. It’s very thin, decently sweet, and goes down like a champ. Great option for the lactose averse.
Jumbo Halfvol Chocolade Melk
Chocolaty, sweet, creamy enough— everything works well to deliver indulgence on a budget. Only one minor gripe about the texture: it feels just a hair powdery.
Chocomel Halfvol
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.
Plus Volle Chocolade Melk
Milky, a little chocolaty, but lacks a flavor kick that would put it in a higher echelon. It’s well balanced, enjoyable, and nothing trips my ‘fugazi’ sensor.
Mlekovita Mleko Czekoladowe
Excellent milky feel: thin enough, creamy enough, sweet/salty/chocolaty enough— everything works well in the current proportions. Only complaint is that it’s so effortlessly drinkable that the 200mL is gone before you know it. Buy several.
