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.
Artificially thick— an attempt at ‘enhancing’ fat free chocolate milk as having a creamy component— but it doesn’t work all that well. The chocolate flavor is a sour one, reminding me of that sour note you get from chocolate syrup. Also leaves a bit of a residue in the back of the throat, further reminding you of the inauthenticity.
Very powdery chocolate flavor and texture— left lots of tiny grit on the tongue. Otherwise, quite average across the board.
Has a slightly sour/boozy note that, when paired with the candyish chocolate quality, does not do itself any favors. It’s also way too sweet, which (by the third sip) became its biggest drawback.
Malty and delicious— great balance of flavor and texture. There’s almost a buttery quality to the cream which brings each sip to a rewarding conclusion. One of the best I’ve had in a while!
Thin, sweet, and not overly chocolaty. Not offensive, not memorable, mildly nostalgic (as I grew up in Maine swilling this stuff).
Thick, chalky texture and an unrewarding earthy taste. It carries a powdery quality that will dry out your mouth post-swallow— remedying this discomfort is the only incentive to take another sip.
Plenty sweet, and enough cream, malt, and cocoa flavor to be taken seriously. There is a slight powdery-ness that pervades the experience but it’s not egregious enough to curb the enjoyment.
Should be served with a side of insulin. Tons of flavor, but primarily in the sugary direction. This is one of the sweetest, most cloying chocolate milks I’ve had. If you can ignore the sweetness (which is nigh impossible), the other flavors will seem well proportioned.
Unnatural bubbles on the top make for an ominous first impression. It’s more sweet than anything else— and there’s a creaminess present despite the texture feeling less ‘milky’ than you’d expect.
Syrupy sweetness to it that tingles the throat upon swallow. Cocoa taste is there, but the texture feels a bit starchy and over thickened.
Very sweet and a mildly malty— which helps, but this is a bit much at once. It should be diluted with regular milk to maintain the decent flavor but cut down the sweetness to a more palatable level.
