Candyish cocoa flavor paired with a strong sweetness that registers more toward the back of the mouth. Identifiable as chocolate milk though a cursory search should lead to a better option most times.

Tesco Chocolate Brownie Flavour Milk
Looks and tastes a lot like the Moo Milk Choc Fudge, but seems to be lacking the ‘punch’ that gave Moo a unique flavor. It’s definitely potable, but doesn’t capture ‘brownie’ flavor particularly well (is that even an attainable pursuit in milk form?).
Milcobel Choco! Choco! Magere Chocolademelk
Chocolate flavor that is stripped down and fleeting— it lacks a salty presence to help establish the supporting cast, and ultimately treads into the brackish water between ‘chocolate’ and ‘candy’.
Chocomel Mager
Overcompensates the lack of cream with heavy-handed sweetness that ‘candifies’ the cocoa flavor and ultimately feels a bit hollow. That all sounds a bit too critical of a drink with only 58 calories / 100mL— it’s not bad considering what it has to work with.
SportyFeel Protein Drink Chocolate Lactose Free
A protein drink that understands moderation and uses it effectively to create relatively smooth, adequately flavorful and appropriately sweet experience.
Power Cow Milk Shake Chokladsmak
Strong cocoa flavor that layers nicely with a creamy taste, capped off with appropriate levels of sweet and salt. It's super thick, especially if you shake for the recommended 30 seconds, and that is the lone (but significant) drawback. It feels more indulgent than the nutrition information would suggest, which is impressive; if you like thickness, prioritize this shake over most others in Europe.
Rainbow Proteindryck Choklad
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.
Riska Cocoa Flavored Milk
Has a smooth and dense feel that unfortunately carries a fruity sweetness, though not as egregiously as some others. It's pleasant in small doses, but even by the end of the 180mL, I was yearning for a truer chocolate flavor.
Madeta Lipanek Kakao
Nicely undersweet, good consistency, but as much ‘wheaty’ flavor as cocoa.
Kaufland Laktosefrei Chocolate Flavored Milk Drink
Sweet and salty, though the sweetness feels forced and does not mesh well with the rest of the product. I’ve certainly had worse, but there are a lot of better lactose free options out there.
Mullermilch Schoko (Germany)
Has a fruity twang that is a signature Mullermilch flavor (butterscotch / butter rum Lifesaver). It’s super sweet, and has a pleasant consistency (more dense than thick), but the chocolate flavor is a bit too weird.
Arla Protein Chocolate Flavoured Milk Drink
No noticeable difference from the Arla Protein Choklad Mjolkdryck Sport: Sweet and powdery— leaves a noticeable residue in the mouth post-swallow that is unpleasant. The chocolate flavor is there but is hindered by the texture, making it feel less authentic.

Barebells Chocolate Flavor Milkshake
No added sugar, plenty of protein, and actually not tasteless or terribly offensive. The texture feels dense (a slight departure from ‘milky’) but the artificial sweeteners do their job well and the package is not only potable, but preferable (from a taste standpoint) to many others in the ‘recovery’ market.
MS Iceland Dairies Koko Mjolk
Very thin, smooth, fair-complected, and bland. It’s quickly drinkable and far from offensive, but definitely won’t set anyone’s world afire.
TruMoo High Protein Cookies n' Cream Lowfat Milk
A highly salty and slightly cardboard-y take on the cookies-n-cream flavor (it compares poorly to the Hershey’s versions). The sweetness and cream help the drinkability considerably, but it’s far inferior to its chocolate counterpart.
Stop & Shop Chocolate Low Fat Milk
Pale, lightly sweet, and otherwise bland. Reminds me of lowfat TruMoo, which isn’t generally a good thing. Lacking cocoa and any other kind of flavorful jolt that would maintain one’s interest.
Shop Rite Chocolate Milk
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.
Hannaford Lowfat Chocolate Milk
Syrupy sweetness to it that tingles the throat upon swallow. Cocoa taste is there, but the texture feels a bit starchy and over thickened.
TruMoo PET Chocolate Lowfat Milk
Not very sweet, or chocolaty, or malty, or… really anything. It passes as chocolate milk, albeit a very bland one.
