Watery and unsweet— so you're left with a chalky, wheaty, proteiny taste that is reminiscent of sports drinks of old. The under-sweetness would work a whole lot better were there a creamy component, but it’s completely devoid of that.
Mild, fruity sweetness and chalky medium— it’s not horrendous, but definitely not chocolaty or something you’d drink for enjoyment. Tongue-watering faux-sweetener aftertaste drags it down a bit further though.
More bland and starchy than the 22g version, but a similar taste. I’d say it’s slightly more preferable as the aftertaste is less overt.
Chalky and seems to be shooting for a 'malty' flavor, but comes up rather short. It's light on flavor, but could be a lot worse considering the drink’s makeup and charter.
There's an ashy quality to the flavor and an anise-like twang on the tongue afterward. If you really need 50g protein, get a double Whopper or something else that won't leave your face grimacing and your wallet 4 quid lighter.
Thick, chalky, and finishes with a strong, multivitamin twang that they attempt to mask with heavy-handed sweetness. The cover-up is always worse than the crime.
An absolute onslaught of flavor (and calories)! Each sip ends with salty whack that will cause your tongue to water-- a very interesting experience. There's so much packed into this drink that it screams for dilution— it’s the most caloric chocolate milk I’ve ever had (that doesn't have chocolate pieces suspended in it), and one that I will remember for years to come.
Tastes and feels exactly like a protein drink, which won't win any flavor contests. Vitamin-y taste and dense, slightly syrupy texture— I feel like I’ve had this same product many times from various different packages.
A tad less bitter than the regular Styrk version, but enjoyment is clearly not the goal here. There’s not a strong ‘protein’ taste or overly contrived texture, but it's a rather shallow experience from a flavor standpoint.
Not at all sweet, not at all chocolaty, not at all creamy, not at all recommended.
Sweet and dense, feels like it lives up to the “54g carbs per portion” billing. I can think of a lot more enjoyable ways to spend this caloric onslaught, but I will admit this is an awfully fast (and painless) way to 350 calories.
A protein drink that understands moderation and uses it effectively to create relatively smooth, adequately flavorful and appropriately sweet experience.
Tastes like you'd expect a high protein drink would— undersweet, under chocolaty, over ‘enriched' (multi-vitaminy)-- none of which approach an extreme level (thankfully). The texture is dense and starchy, but not too drying. I've had a lot worse, but tastewise, it’s still sub par in the chocolate milk category.
Creamy, almost 'airy' feel-- which is unique, as most protein-enriched chocolate milks feel dense or gummy. Lightly sweet with identifiable cocoa, this is a welcome surprise as it doesn't carry too much unnecessary baggage from a flavor standpoint. Definitely feels more indulgent than the label lets on.
Chalky, but still more milky than most other protein drinks out there. There’s a sharpness to the cocoa that feels just a tad off, but all things considered, it's a fairly decent tasting protein-enriched chocolate milk.
This is how I'd expect chocolate milk to taste if it came from an artesian well. A moderate amount of cream is about all that separates this from spring water.
There’s a strange intensity to the flavor, which feels like it should burn, but doesn’t. The texture is definitely more milky than otherwise— a welcome difference to the normal protein drink, and there is cocoa flavor to be had. After the initial shock of the unique flavor, it becomes more palatable with each swallow.
Dense, chalky, and though not terribly ‘sweet’— the presence of artificial sweeteners is disturbingly evident, to the extent that it is the first and last thing you taste.
Sweet banana scent that accurately represents the flavor as well. It's decidedly toward the banana end of the spectrum (versus the chocolate end) but is smooth enough to sip without any red flags.
Strong and nearly rancid banana scent, though the flavor is more what you’d expect (much more banana than chocolate). Dense yet smooth and surprisingly not starchy-feeling, I found myself enjoying it more as I got used to it. There’s a mild wheaty undertone that becomes more noticeable in the aftertaste, but it’s not terrible considering its makeup.
