I have tasted the same thing in Kroger quart milk, but never in the gallon size. It is definitely some type of hydrocarbon impurity most likely being added by the container. It doesn't taste like pasticizer to me, but I don't know what it is, but will not buy the quart size milks because I fear it might be toxic. My best guess is mold release compound which is usually paraffin based I believe.
