i mixed this at 1.5%, I got a homemade peanut butter, minus the butter part of a peanut butter. Instead I got a slightly dense cream. The roasted nuts reminded me of their regular peanut butter, but that underlying cream really went together well. They were almost separated with the peanuts on the inhale melding together with the cream afterwards. I got no skin note which is huge for me, no off notes, not sweet. I enjoyed this one but I think I’d use it at 1% or below.
I can’t do very many peanut butters, SSA and Dx are 2 that I don’t taste a skin note. So I was psyched this didn’t have that note!
Creamy PB with a Natural taste , Not Creamy like Its PB and Cream. Good creamy mouthfeel. not dry , no peanut skin , a slight pb saltiness which was unexpected…
This was my written notes
SD what you say about the crunshed nuts on top of the creamy pb is a great way to describe the natural taste …
Rock & Road (Flavorah) 1% (10-29-23) – I suspect this one was named to avoid any issues with the “Rocky Road Ice Cream” ?? Who knows, but it was either going to be the candy, OR, the Ice Cream. It turns out there is/was quite a controversy about exactly who, and when the OG Rocky Road Candy was invented. Assuming this is/was the “Ice cream” version, there are many types, but all have at least Chocolate Ice Cream, and Marshmallows. This one had them, and they were delicious !!! The chocolate ice cream, IMHO, was one of the best out there, and it just tasted about as close as I’ve tasted yet. Not a vanilla Ice cream with chocolate topping, but a choco ice cream. Smooth, creamy, and you guessed it, chocolate-y. I’m not sure how Flavorah did it, but I could pick out actual marshmallow notes, which surprisingly weren’t buried by the choco notes. Now the rest stayed a bit fuzzy. Were there walnuts, maybe even a light coconut ?? Very hard to tell. At times I almost thought I got both, BUT, (and if so), they were so far down in the mix, it was hard to really tell.
With THAT little mystery still outstanding, I can tell you as a whole, it worked, and it worked well, and it was obvious that a lot of time went into this one. IRL I can’t say that I’ve ever eaten RRIC, but this almost makes me want to. Plenty strong at 1%, and it could easily survive up to 1.5% if not a bit more, but it was plenty full at this testing weight. Sweetness was about mid-level, which was fine for a desert flavor. No off-notes, and no nit-picks to be found. If you like RRIC, I think you should pick this up. Deliciously placing this choco gem high @ 9.7/10.
The BCF site, where I got the newest pack from, says "
**The chocolate is more of a semi-sweet chocolate blended with the cream with nuts and marshmallows.*"
So perhaps the nut taste needed to be added to be more noticeable?
@KC111 the choco ice cream (my tastes) was spot on, and I looked for the nuts, just never really got much of them. I was genuinely impressed they got the MM to come through, with the chocolate.
Milk Choco Ice Cream (tad darker than milk choc , but not dark choco) . Not getting much more than that , slight nutty taste. No MM taste ,maybe the descent mouthfeel is the MM…
Again my written notes.
Ill add that this is a spot on Choc Ice cream with slight nutty taste …My notes would make it seem that it is just an ok flavor. It is definitely a good flavor
Thanks for that @big_vape. I DO feel Flavorah did a good job with it, because hey they DUMPED the nuts in there, that could have turned some people off. They MAY have been in there, but somewhere below that rich, silky choco ice cream and marshmallows.
