I first tasted the chocolate-cream cold foam, which was absolutely delicious. It had a frothiness that immediately reminded me of a chocolate milkshake, and I couldn't help but lick the entire cap clean.
And the rest of the drink was just as good. There's a richness to the Chocolate Cream Cold Brew that I wasn't expecting, like dark chocolate but without any bitterness.
The Chocolate Cream Cold Brew has just enough sweetness, and the cold foam on top makes it surprisingly refreshing. I can't drink black coffee and haven't found many cold brews that I enjoy, but Starbucks' new drink went down like a treat — I could easily have it every week.
As someone who grew up drinking cold glasses of chocolate milk with my dad, there really was something nostalgic about the flavor. The smell reminded me of the chocolate pies from Marie Callender's that my parents always brought home during my childhood.
