Penn View Farms Dairy Chocolate Milk

Intriguing combination of thick but smooth, with a strong cascade of malt flavor and a salty pinch that curbs any unwanted residuals. If you're looking to overdose on cocoa, this won't get the job done, but if you're looking to add an ice-cream-y bent to your potable portfolio, check this stuff out.

Freddy Hill Farms Chocolate Milk

I've had Freddy Hill Farms ice cream, so I know they know how to impart flavor. They just didn't do it very effectively here, unfortunately. It's got a nice creamy body that could be saddled with a LOT more flavor. Largely bland and unoffensive, it doesn't move the needle much for a whole chocolate milk.

Dairy Maid Dairy Double Chocolate Milk

Sweet, chocolaty, and rather soulless beyond that. The cocoa flavor narrowly escapes 'candified' territory, and the base is more reminiscent of 2% than whole, as it washes away fairly quickly and yields to a watery/syrupy sustain rather than a creamy one. It's not bad in a pinch, and kids will like it, but for whole chocolate milk, there are likely better options nearby.

Deliteful Dairy Cookies & Cream Milk

Sweet cookie flavor with its own highly-competent cream, it's on the sweet side for chocolate milk (nearly all CnC milks are) but remains an accurate representation and should be sought out for fans of this profile, or those looking to expand their library of delicious drinkable confections.

Kurtz Family Dairy Chocolate Milk

Densely flavorful with a salty/malty bite in the latter third of each sip which provides a tasty and mouthwatering exit-- imploring you to take another sip (which you'll gladly do). The cocoa flavor is strongest upfront, and then folds gracefully into the aforementioned wave. It's extremely well-built and indulgently flavorful from beginning to end.

Deliteful Dairy Chocolate Peanut Butter Milk

Wow-- the first sip will register like a construction boot to the skull, but once you settle in, you're in for a powerfully indulgent ride through chocolate peanut butter territory that you've likely not explored to this extent. In short, it's a haymaker of salty, peanutty punch wrapped up in a creamy chocolaty base that still drinks quickly-- it's a lot of flavor to handle at once. Make sure you're sitting down for this one.

Deliteful Dairy Chocolate Milk

Luxurious base that nails the (thin) viscosity-to- (high) creaminess ratio that I enjoy so much. There's no starch to bog this down, just pure goodness that knows exactly how and where to deliver the flavor. The uniquely upfront grassy hit sets the tone for the remainder of the sip, and before you know it, you'll be pouring another glass or cracking open another pint to chase the high.

Misty Meadow Farm Creamery Chocolate Milk

Beautiful creamline taste and texture that amplifies the other flavors, and like a true MVP, it brings out the best in the other 'players.' Sports analogies aside, this is a delicious concoction with a touch of grass in the cream, well worth slotting into (or blowing out) your caloric budget.

High's of Baltimore Chocolate Milk

Quickly sweet and flavorful, but hampered by a sticky, syrupy back-of-the-throat twang and finish. It's still whole milk, but a residue seems to collect in the mouth after a few sips, distracting from what could or should be a creamy and/or chocolaty exit.

Shenandoah Valley Family Farms Organic Chocolate Milk

Dense, creamy body that remains the star of the show well beyond each sip. The buttery grassiness intensifies in the aftertaste and last for several minutes, allowing for delicious, lasting reflection and a uniquely satisfying conclusion to the pint. There's additional novelty to the cocoa profile, as it has not undergone the typical dutch process-- imparting a brighter, and slightly tactile cocoa presence throughout.

Myers Century Farm Chocolate Milk

Luxuriously thin yet indulgently creamy, with a powerful, mature cocoa flavor and slight undersweetness that further fosters the reverence you'll experience with each draw. You will question 'Why would chocolate milk require more than 3 ingredients?'-- and this has the answer.

Shults Family Farm Chocolate Milk

Beautiful creamline flavor and texture with a light to medium cocoa flavor and a modest vanilla-like finish, which is nicely unique. There's an elegance to the subtlety here that becomes more apparent with each sip. I finished the pint, and would happily go for another.

Clark Farms Creamery Chocolate Milk

Absolute jaw-dropping flavor coming at you from all sides-- chocolaty, sweet, salty, buttery, creamy-- everything is cranked up to the max yet it remains balanced and easily drinkable. I refuse to believe that this is reduced fat (2%)-- it's in elite company even among whole chocolate milks. I could hand this to anyone in the world and be 100% confident that they would enjoy it.

Creamworks Creamery Chocolate Milk

The beautiful look of it may have gotten my expectations a bit too high, as there wasn't much of a flavor punch to speak of, but still drank nicely albeit on the chalky/drying side. Its creamy base could certainly shoulder more flavor, perhaps I got a somewhat blander batch than usual. In the grand scheme of things, it's still well above average, but lacking that extra gear to thrust it toward the top.

Dygert Farms Creamery Chocolate Milk

Interesting combination of thick and smooth-- with a strong creamy presence that could easily carry more flavor. The flavor that is present, is an enjoyable, salty and only slightly malty one-- unique and tasty in its own right, but resolutely in bland territory.

Edsall Hill Dairy Chocolate Milk

Fantastically buttery throughout-- in a way that intensifies with each sip and ultimately provides one of the most satisfying afterglows I've had from a chocolate milk thus far, and that's saying something. The cocoa flavor is fairly understated, and I must say my repeated attempts to locate it are only making me enjoy this more and more.

Kriemhild Dairy Farms Chocolate Milk

Everything I love in a chocolate milk-- simplicity, warm buttery creaminess, and a wild grassiness that has a 'feral' quality-- and I mean that in the absolute best way possible! The cream separation may stymie some folks, but this is a fantastic example of what 'real' chocolate milk is and should be!
