A legitimate onslaught of flavor— hyper-sweet, uber-salty, and surprisingly peanutty. Despite its heavy-handedness, once your tastebuds (and viscera) calibrate a few sips in, it’s an enjoyable detour from the traditional.

Refreshingly smooth and chocolate-focused— the majority of the ‘flavor-spend’ seems dedicated to its cocoa profile. It could use a bit more support from a cream and salt perspective; I think what calories are ‘saved’ by drinking this instead of its full-fat counterpart are not nearly worth the flavor discrepancy, as Shatto’s whole chocolate milk is worldwide elite.

As with Grace Harbor Farms, I like what I taste here, but just couldn’t get the cream to incorporate, even with super-vigorous shaking and manual stirring (I don’t have a blender). You’re either forced to chew some cream chunks (I’m not opposed) or ignore them and drink a super-thin, cream-deficient junior varsity version of what it could be.

A suitable alternative to main-lining Hershey’s chocolate syrup. It’s uber sweet, cumbersomely chalky, and powerfully chocolaty— but in a more sweet than bitter way. There’s an almost alcohol-like twang to the finish— as though chocolate liqueur was a major component of the flavor. In short, you CAN have too much of a good thing— and they’re trying way too hard here; it reeks more of desperation than aspiration.

A bit shockingly salty upfront, but you quickly warm to it with further sips. The flavor is intensely salted caramel, not as much chocolate, and it tastes like you think it should. The texture is a bit more concerning, as it skews more syrupy than milky.

Noticeably better (read: milkier, creamier) texture than the (seemingly same) product stored in plastic, but it’s definitely a better drinking and tasting experience. A slightly salty kick rounds out each sip that accentuates the cream and curtails any potential aftertaste funk.

Excellent mouthfeel, and a light maltiness in place of chocolate makes this memorable and rather easy to drink quickly (in small sips of course). One of the better low-fat chocolate milks I’ve had in recent times.

Strongly flavorful but fairly misguided in its approach. You’re hammered with a syrupy sweet, caramel flavor that lingers on the palate and doesn’t foster the 'whole chocolate milk' experience you expect.

Smooth texture, but a bit heavy on sweet, especially without a solid chocolate-backing. It’s far from disgusting, but could benefit from a more satisfying balance of sugar-to-cocoa for my tastes.

Tasty malt flavor with a generous amount of chocolate to boot. I like the thinner viscosity and how the salt helps to curtail the sweetness, preventing it from losing control and overshadowing the rest of its features.

Decent amount of punch to the flavor, which feels dense and layered— an odd quality for low fat chocolate milk. There’s plenty of salt throughout and the sweetness doesn’t overstay its welcome. Texture-wise, it’s a bit on the starchy side, but overall it stands well above average.

Much saltier and sweeter than I was expecting— the ‘peanut’ side of things is more strongly represented than the ‘chocolate.’ After the initial shock (of powerful salty/sweet/nutty) wears off, it gets to be more pleasant and is enjoyable in relatively small amounts due to the indulgence factor.
