Crispy Donut (Flavorah) 1% (10-26-23) – I’ll try to keep this short, but I have to at least mention the fact that I am VERY picky about what I call a donut, and even PICKIER about what I call a “Great Donut”. Most times they’re just variations of a cakey bakery, sometimes with saturating greasy notes, and other times barely ANY donut, and mostly frosting. Enter Flavorah’s Crispy Donut. Now I never really got what the “crispy” was supposed to be, but I GOT the Donut, and I liked it. No Playdoh like I always got from Capella’s, and no off-notes, after three testers. What was unique for me about this, was that there was a VERY good, and pretty unique pairing of a light bakery, with some yeast, and just a touch of deep fried. The combination, AND ratios were what was important to my tastes. Just enough of all, but not too much of any one of them.
I’ve had almost straight up greasy donuts before, which were overbearing. Many have cinnamon-ish elements, which while fine, but many times, you just want a neutral, cinnamon-less donut, that’s accurate. This one might just be the MOST accurate one I’ve had yet. I did catch some slight glazed notes, but never full on glazed, which honestly, just allowed the kick ass DONUT to come through even better. At 1% it was damned good, and although not lacking, it was SOO tasty, I did want to crank it up to 1.5-1.75 JUST to see what happened. That’ll be later, as I’ve got a lot to get through. All in, this was a VERY good, cinnmon-LESS, donut which combined bakery elements, some light yeast, and just enough fried, all in ONE package. It wasn’t perfect, but DAMN it was close for me. 9.9/10. Big Bottle Approved.
Crispy Donut @1pct…Donut taste is very good , no play doh , slight greasiness but not overdone, not as crispy as i was thinking it would be. Sweetness middle of the road…This my be my new fave donut base.
@SessionDrummer@fidalgo_vapes , I have figured it out! My deep dive into the rabbit hole is none of my doing! You two along with others secretly influence me with your clandestine subliminal suggestions!
So a bit of a conundrum here. In the photo on BCF it is spelt Apple Raz but in their tittle it is Apple Razz and then on the bottle @SessionDrummer received it is Apple Razz
No Apple Raz or Apple Razz listed on Flavorah website yet, kinda suks when the vendors don’t list the new releases, Capella did the same thing on the last release…
So irritating…I was thebfirst to enter these flavors and made sure I went off of what was on the bottle and IG …Apple Razz…Why cant people just put what was already entered ?
Crispy donut 2% love the soft bakery with a nice browned outside. So close go an old fashioned donut. A little bit of a grease note but that makes it authentic. Very accurate, no spice note. 5 no off notes, nothing harsh. Probably stay below 2% or the grease note might escalate. Very good! (No yeast for me)
It would be great if someone could add similar information here and there where there’s a lot of confusion; like
mentioning Rebranded names
MB (now SSA)
Wild Strawberry SSA + Natural Wild Strawberry SSA + Wild Strawberry (MB) SSA (= three different flavors)
Red Grape SSA and Red Grape (Wine) SSA (= two different flavors)
Cream Fresh - Fresh Cream, etc.
PB Cream (Flavorah) 1% (10-28-23) – This one actually took some time to figure out, or better, to figure out how to EXPLAIN it. This was not your regular Creamy Peanut Butter, and that’s what I had expected. It was actually rather complex, and it had an almost earthy overtone, that at first I thought might have been a take-off, but the more I ran through the testers, it seemed like it was part of a natural crunchy peanut on TOP of a creamy PB. Yes, yes, I know, and it was hard to nail down. Creamy, somewhat sweet, and def. portrayed a natural PB, BUT, there was that “note”, and it was really like you crushed up some fresh roasted peanuts, and threw them on the top. Crunchy was my main take-away on the overtone, and creamy and smooth were my take-aways on the body and undertones. Sweetness was a few ticks below mid-level, and it was actually pretty full at 1%, with maybe some wiggle room (higher or lower). It’s because I could taste both the creamy PB and the crunchy nuts that I pushed it into the “complex” category. I’ll be very curious to hear other thoughts on this one, and it was a keeper, and a very unique one at that, as I can’t think of another PB that was like it. In total, a very good creamy PB, with freshly crushed peanuts on the top. I prefer chunky PB, so it was hard to not like this one. Easily a 9.3/10.
no off notes, nothing harsh. Probably stay below 2% or the grease note might escalate. Very good! (No yeast for me)
