Sports a mustardy earthiness that is unique but unwelcome. To make matters worse, there’s a starchy texture that continues to dry the mouth long after each lamentable swallow.

Thin yet carries a grain that you will feel on your tongue and in your throat after swallowing. Very middle-of-the-road in the flavor categories, perhaps slightly weaker than average chocolate flavor. Far from offensive, but worth your time looking for something more memorable.

Light and clean feel, but somewhat bland flavor. The texture is its best attribute, and the taste doesn’t drag it down much, just leaves you wishing for more punch.

Thin and slightly wheaty, with a good sweetness level that leaves you wanting more— more cocoa, more salt, and more cream.

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.

Flat experience that is reminiscent of melted, unsalted butter (except not as good as that would be). It's milky and mildly sweet, but the product is actually less interesting than the (seemingly uninteresting) box that it’s in.

Pleasant to sip, adequately sweet, salty, and creamy— just the chocolate element ventures into candy land, albeit not egregiously so.

Smoother and slightly more of a creamy taste than the original, but still carries the punchy flavor I associate with Chocomel (this version has locust bean gum as an additional stabilizer-- the only difference I could find on the label). As it’s a pop-top bottle and can't be resealed, looks like I’ll be forced to consume the full 1L now ;)

Excellently satisfying dark cocoa taste that is neither bitter nor muddled with any other flavors competing for attention. It tastes as good as it looks; I just wish this were more common throughout Europe.

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.

Pleasant but average flavors and levels across the board, however it’s much less viscous than most chocolate milks. Easy to put down the entire 4-pack— and adding a straw option is a nice touch.

Super sweet and not much else— I’m almost surprised that ‘milk’ is the first ingredient because it feels like one of those water-based ‘chocolate drink’ gimmicks that would come in the big plastic gallon jug. Kids might likes this because it looks like chocolate and tastes sweet, but it’s up to you do do what’s right.

Overcompensates the lack of cream with heavy-handed sweetness that ‘candifies’ the cocoa flavor and ultimately feels a bit hollow. That all sounds a bit too critical of a drink with only 58 calories / 100mL— it’s not bad considering what it has to work with.

Powdery feel, and very average in every other respect. It’s easily identifiable as chocolate milk— no real surprises or disappointments here.

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.
