Remarkable confidence to keep sweetness as a tertiary feature, with a strong upfront mature (nigh earthy) cocoa profile, and a lasting creamy tail that pays delicious homage to its origins.
Thick and sweet— but perhaps comes up a bit short of the ‘extra rich’ moniker— as there’s more of a salty-malty snap to it rather than a chocolaty richness. Regardless, it’s enjoyable, particularly for those seeking sugary girth.
Well-balanced texture and flavor— being slightly more salty than sweet curbs any aftertaste lingering, and the cocoa presence is relatively prominent and true. It drinks well, and won’t make a mockery of your weekly chocolate milk budget.
Sweet, smooth, malty, and creamy— thought the malt could use a bit more salt support to help accentuate it. It’s physically easy to drink, but psychologically (?) I’m left yearning for a more prominent flavor profile.
Flavorful and clean-finishing, it’s easy to burn through a pint on a warm Tennessee spring afternoon. It paints within the lines but delivers on its promise of sweet, chocolaty refuge.
Highly drinkable thin-yet-creamy body that more than adequately serves the cocoa flavor in a way that reveals it with deliberation and reverence.
Salty, chocolaty, chalky, creamy— in that order— and a very pleasant overall experience. The salt definitely helps to preempt any would-be aftertaste undesirables, making each sip flow seamlessly to the next. Until there's no more.
Well-balanced and highly drinkable chocolate milk that is congruent with its classy duo-tone old style carton. Don’t expect trendy flavors or textures here, just straight-up chocolate milk like you remember from your childhood.
Strongly chocolaty (to a near earthy extent) and well-supported by its competently creamy base and unobtrusive sweetness. It starts and finishes with cocoa flavor and leaves you as all chocolate milks should: wanting more.
Sweet and creamy, though the texture doesn’t quite distribute in the mouth like you’d hope— it feels a touch more coagulative than the ‘real’ stuff.
The fat content outperforms its ‘reduced’ (2%) billing from a creaminess standpoint, lending an indulgence supported (but not highlighted) by cocoa flavor.
Thin, creamy, and underserved on the ‘taste’ side of the ledger. Given its decent base, it doesn’t require strong flavor to be enjoyable, but it would benefit greatly from leveling up the chocolate piece.
Solidly chocolaty and fairly sweet— mired only by a slight cloying aftertaste that kicks in a couple seconds post-gulp. The flavor in the beginning half of the sip is rather decent, it just tries to hang on too long.
Solidly smooth and chocolaty, though lacking a punch that could take the base to loftier heights. Expect satisfaction, not havoc-wreaking exuberance.
Super thin, yet appropriately creamy with a noticeable but far from cartoonish cookies & cream flavor. It’s enjoyable, but not quite as devastatingly delicious as Perrydell Farm chocolate milk.
Creamy and lightly sweet, it’s a pleasant way to spend a few minutes or a few hundred calories. The cocoa won’t kick your door down anytime soon, so expect a polite encounter with minimal baggage.
Very smooth, appropriately creamy, but lacking a cocoa punch. Instead, the flavor resembles an inoffensive, yet relatively uninspired cooked milk sweetness that fades in proportion with the sip-to-swallow process. You’re left with a clean finish that helps to warrant future consumption, facilitating the ‘getting used to’ process.
Delicious dark chocolate flavor that is paired with appropriate levels of sweetness and salt. The texture is more of a distraction than anything else— and the creaminess isn’t quite where it should be. It’s on the viscous side, and doesn’t disperse as naturally as you’d expect, so there’s a bit of a ‘gulping’ action necessary to get it down.
I enjoyed this more than expected— the mint flavor is refreshing and doesn’t deteriorate into any kind of funkiness post-swallow. Mint is definitely the dominant flavor, and it’s executed well-enough for this to be a year-round product. Et pourquoi pas?
Beautifully focused on chocolate, with a confident salty snap and a sweetness that fades into the background like a motionless barn owl. This definitely pushes the limits of what 1% milk fat can achieve— if/when Hansen’s Dairy produces a whole chocolate milk, I’ll be first in line!
