Chocolaty and (perhaps a bit too) sweet, which is good enough to put it above average. The thickness is more prominent than the creaminess (I prefer the reciprocal) but overall it feels indulgent, dessert-y, and is a fine way to spend a couple minutes or a few hundred calories.
Same as Atlanta Fresh Crematop Whole Chocolate Milk that I had earlier in Raleigh, NC, just a different name on the label. A remarkable experience- tastes different from anything else I’ve had. It’s super-salty, but you warm to that quickly. It’s plenty creamy, a tad grainy, and very flavorful. Perhaps these grass-fed cows unearthed a salt lick— but still, it’s a luxurious experience that may take a sip or three to get used to.
Definitely creamier than the low fat version, and more enjoyable for that reason— but it still suffers from way over-sweetness, as it causes the cocoa flavor (which is strong) to seem candyish and not authentic. Again, would be much better if diluted with plain, whole milk.
Super sweet, dark, thick, and a tad sour. The cocoa flavor has a bit of an immature (over-sweetened, candy-like) quality to it which makes it hard to take more than tiny sips. Strong flavor, but needs to be diluted so the sugar rush is less prominent.
Cloying sweetness masks whatever cocoa flavor there is supposed to be, and it carries on into the aftertaste. There’s enough salt, and the consistency is decent, but the supporting flavors aren’t good enough to compensate for the lack of chocolate.
Doesn't try to do too much, it has a tasty creamy/malty simplicity to it and it’s refreshingly lower on the sweetness end of the spectrum— because it doesn’t need it to be enjoyable.
Lack of cocoa flavor is made up for by the creaminess, which is furthered by the salt quotient— giving it a buttery snap at the end. Would be nice if there were more chocolate aspect, but it’s enjoyable enough as is.
The chocolate settles rather quickly— but it won’t be an issue to consume this one forthwith, it’s delicious. Beautiful aesthetics, strong dark chocolate flavor, thinnish viscosity, adequate cream— all things I wan’t and nothing I don’t.
Fairly bland (perhaps the darkish color caused me to expect more flavor?) and uninteresting. There’s a milky twang to the aftertaste that trumps whatever cocoa flavor there is.
Creamy as heck, feels like egg nog (doesn’t taste like it) and there’s almost a charcoal-like conclusion to the sip that is more intriguing than off-putting. Seems to be lacking cocoa in a major way, but the rest is nicely balanced, creamy, and flavorful.
Decent cocoa flavor and strength, fairly tasty experience— just feels a bit too artificially thickened.
Feels bland at first taste, but eventually the cocoa shines through. The dialed-back sweetness likely helps the cocoa rise to prominence, but I was also hoping for more salt and cream (though it was decently adequate). Has potential, looks beautiful, but lacks the punchy flavor present in many of the elite chocolate milks.
Thin and super smooth— and the positive qualities end there. It’s a sullen-looking gray color that delivers no enjoyable flavor characteristics. A mild sweetness is the only thing that registers on the palate, and although it’s smooth, it feels a little plasticky.
Strong fake-sweetener taste (which is not an ingredient) that lingers well on into the aftertaste. Had me wishing I kept some Funyuns nearby to destroy the residual flavor in my mouth completely. Not up to the same standards as the other Hershey’s UHT products I’ve had.
Fantastically creamy and delicious— could only be improved by having a stronger cocoa quotient. Very enjoyable to drink and feels both indulgent and sophisticated.
Thick, chalky, and what sweetness exists tastes artificial and weird, though not completely out of character for Fairlife products. I appreciate that it’s low sugar and (very) high protein and it bears much more semblance to milk than other products in its category— but to drink it for its flavor is not recommended.
Salty, buttery, and decently chocolaty— a marked improvement compared with the Love Goat I had in Bangkok— the only other chocolate goat milk I’ve had. There’s a bit of an aftertaste that seems different from regular cow milk, but it’s not offensive— most people wouldn’t cry “goat” if presented with this (myself included).
Darker chocolate flavor that settles quickly. I love how the thin viscosity pairs with the cream to make it extremely (and quickly) drinkable. Has a mature flavor that gets better the deeper you get into the pint.
Chalky, metallic, and artificially sweet— there’s not much reason to pursue this for taste purposes (I’m sure most people drink it for other reasons). Leaves an unpleasant aftertaste that is hard to shake.
Its gray color is a harbinger of the lack of chocolate you will soon experience. There’s a salty, milky flavor that isn’t awful— but it’s hard to file it under ‘chocolate milk’ — or at least what that file cabinet should contain.
