Saltier and more similar to the 946mL version with more malt than chocolate, but there’s a residue that hangs in the back of your throat afterward.

Dairyland Old Fashioned Chocolate Milk
Caramel is by far the most prominent flavor, which was a surprise, but not necessarily a bad one. Each subsequent sip got better and better— it’s got a great creaminess to it that is not overly thick or starchy feeling.
Milk 2 Go Chillin' Chocolate Reduced Sugar
Fairly bland, the stevia leaf taste kicks in post-swallow and mars an otherwise tasteless experience. As far as reduced sugar versions go, it's not bad— but compared with average chocolate milk, especially side-by-side, it can’t compete.
Milk 2 Go Chillin' Chocolate
A tad salty and a fair dose of malt as well- has a buttery quality to the finish which was a welcome surprise.
Natrel Chocolate Partly Skimmed Milk
Well balanced with a creamy and salty punch to accentuate the chocolate. Kept coming back to this one for a sip here and there despite having 10+ other chocolate milk options in the fridge— it’s exceptionally drinkable.
Natrel Lactose Free Chocolate Milk
Powdery and chalky but delivers a good malty flavor that finishes with a touch of sweetness and implores you to take the next sip.
Natrel Dark Chocolate Milk
Thinner, sweeter, and darker— but the chocolate tasted slightly less authentic to me than the Milk Chocolate version. Still, the fact that I didn’t have to chew it was a plus, giving it a slight edge over its lighter counterpart.
Natrel Milk Chocolate
Great look and strong cocoa flavor that is clearly the focus. The texture kills it though, for me— it’s very thick and has a starchy quality to it (as opposed to a cream-induced thickness).
Lucerne Chocolate Partly Skimmed Milk
Aside from sweetness, the only other taste I’m getting is a mild wheaty flavor. It’s pretty smooth, but not a very chocolaty experience.
Beatrice Chocolate Partly Skimmed Milk
Beautiful coffee-brown coloration and oddly an aged, coffee-esque flavor. I hope I’m not influenced by the look too much, but it has a bitter kick to it that is not unpleasant, it reminds me of sweetened coffee. Unique, I like it.
