Slightly less sweet than the 'melted chocolate ice cream' trope, but plenty thick and substantial to serve as a proxy. Tasty going down and doesn't leave you with excess baggage in the aftertaste, it's a well-built, well-rounded, hefty drinking treat.
Every bit as face-meltingly flavorful as you'd expect a 1/2 creamline chocolate milk - 1/2 chocolate ice cream mix to be. If you want to do a tastebud audit-- this will find ALL of them, including a few you probably didn't know you had. It's beefy, densely flavorful, incredibly sweet and chocolaty, and might bring you to an early grave. Don't say I didn't warn you!
Heavily creamy-- perhaps not unlike drinking heavy cream-- with a medium-to-malty cocoa flavor and slightly grassy back-end that comes into its own a couple days after the bottle has been opened. Approach slowly and on a relatively empty stomach-- because it won't be empty for long.
More coffee than chocolate-- but that's certainly no complaint. As one who likes sweet coffee, this is enjoyable stuff with an honest caffeine kick before you can polish off the pint. There's a slight astringency in the afterglow that is noticeable but doesn't hamper the overall plus experience.
Well-imagined cookies & cream flavor with no shortage of sweetness to get its point across. The creamy non-homogenized base furthers the 'cream' part of C&C-- lending to an authenticity that many of its peers lack.
A welcome more-mature CnC flavor here that is not hampered by an over-reliance on sweetness to get its point across. Accuracy over caricature is a appreciated in this application, and the flavor ages nicely from initial contact to lasting repose.
Loads of flavor supported by a competent whole milk base-- this is a dangerously easy (and remarkably efficient) way to take in 510 calories! The cocoa flavor is not lost in the peanut buttery goodness-- both are equally represented and not cartoonishly portrayed. Good stuff.
Silky upfront experience with a back-end malt and an almost coffee-like bent to the flavor. There's a modicum of grit left in the mouth post-swallow, followed by a clean, pleasant aftertaste that warrants another pour. This half gallon won't last long.
Excellently warm and creamy texture with a grassy nod at the very end, but otherwise rather bland from a flavor standpoint. It's still enjoyable to sip given its lovely base and texture, but the cocoa flavor is a bit off (almost has a maple syrup hint to it) despite being rather muted.
True, straightforward cocoa flavor delivered by a surprisingly lithe creamline base-- thinks is easily drinkable and enjoyable while it lasts. The flavor doesn't extend much beyond the sip-- meaning that it ends cleanly but without much of a chocolaty or creamy sustain.
Wow-- quite a different experience! It's shockingly under sweet, under salty, yet quite thick and deceptively creamy. A few sips into it, I'm starting to appreciate it more-- and the novelty does carry some cachet with me after having over 1,500 different chocolate milks (many of which fit into common paradigms).
Gorgeous non-homogenous base that is easily the star of the show, though it feels slightly underburdened with flavor. I like that it's not overly sweet, and the chocolate flavor that exists is pleasant while it's there, but whisks away quickly leaving you wanting more.
Thickly creamy with a sweet beginning, medium-chocolaty peak and graceful exit-- this is very readily enjoyable and sure to scratch anyone's itch for whole chocolate milk.
Delicious cream flavor that remains the star of the experience throughout-- the cocoa flavor plays a supporting role and crescendos toward the conclusion of each sip. It's very enjoyable, if not a little on the bland side, but I would still prefer its graceful subtlety over a lesser base burdened with too much flavor.
Creamy base with an almost honey-like sweetness that nicely compliments the cocoa flavor. It drinks effortlessly, yet is satisfying in short sips.
Smoothly creamy, and features more cocoa flavor than sweetness or salt. It feels simple, yet manages to nail the essence of what good chocolate milk should be.
Remarkably chocolaty to the extent that its reduced fat base feels maximally leveraged— delivering a solidly indulgent, plenty sweet, and abundantly flavorful experience. A higher fat content would have likely spiked the max flavor and sustained it for longer, but as it is, I’m not complaining.
Sweet, smooth, and chocolaty, quite possibly in that order. The flavor is delivered promptly and efficiently, bestowing the delicious experience that we’ve come to expect and revere from whole chocolate milk.
Smooth, silky, and more of a caramel flavor than that of chocolate. I’ve had lots of ‘real’ Dutch chocolate milk (in the Netherlands, of course), and those generally sport a stronger cocoa flavor. Regardless, it drinks easily, and is plenty sweet and creamy to get the job done.
Lightly sweet with a malty undertone, the silky-smooth texture feels luxurious beyond its reduced-fat budget. It earns high marks for physical drinkability, and the feel pairs well with its uniquely demure cocoa presence.
