Taste		The milk chocolate is a nice agreeable chocolate flavor.

Taste		The first time/tub was from a "vitamin store" and it was the Chocolate Malt flavored one, and to say the least - it was too bland for me!
Taste		Extreme Milk Chocolate flavor (as recommended by Suplex Sylas from Bodybuilding.com) is the flavor to go for, and it mixes well too and so far no gas.
Mixes well		It also gave me gas and was clumpy to mix even with a shaker.
