Texture is a bit grainy and has somewhat of a plastic-y feel in my opinion. The flavor is not overpowering in any direction, a fairly bland milk with undesirable texture (which is harder to sense through a straw than via a glass).
All in Spain
Central Lechera Asturiana Batido De Cacao
Cocoa taste is prominent and decent, but definitely a fruity quality to the sweetness that hits early on in the taste. Thin, but more of a watery than creamy quality.
Nestle Nesquik UHT (Spain)
Very strange ribbon-candy like flavor upon initial swig. The cloying sweetness didn’t subside with subsequent tries. Texture feels artificially thickened and does not deliver a creamy taste. Grainy feel in the mouth when (thankfully) finished.
Cacaolat Zero
Nowhere near as flavorful as the Original Cacaolat (which is to be expected with the no added sugar label / Stevia)— it severely lacks salt, and the sweetness that is present is hard to taste without wincing. It looks the same, and the packaging is attractive, but not to be considered seriously for those without an aversion to added sugar.
Feiraco Batido De Chocolate
Thicker than many other boxed chocolate milks. Has a decent combination of more cocoa and less sweet, but in the end, it was not a memorable experience. There’s also a slight wheat-like flavor.
Cacaolat Original Batido De Cacao
Strong flavor, viciously attacks the sides and back of the tongue. Very unique and tasty, hard to describe— not quite ‘boozy’ (I wouldn’t like that) but not quite ‘buttery’— but the best qualities of both of those perhaps, if only a little. Sort of like drinking a truffle.
Nestle Nesquik Creamy
Extremely salty, almost like drinking caramel. The ‘creamy’ texture advertised is not a luxurious creaminess, but a fake, starchy thickness that makes it unpleasant to drink. Way more salt than any other flavor (unique), but the nasty fake thickening kills it.
