Steve-O Milkshake base

[Pastorfuzz]

I actually have all the flavors
Just looked and found about 100ml of Molinberry Milkshake left.
It’s 3 years old. Better get on it

[SessionDrummer]

Ah shit @Pastorfuzz I think I may have to RE-up on mine.

[TimWV]

Me either @McDuckie however, I am going to try some subs, it looks too good to me!

[Pastorfuzz]

It’s good stuff. Better than Caps, that’s for sure

[Pastorfuzz]

Just found some more @SessionDrummer . Forgot I had the VTA. Never tried it yet

[SessionDrummer]

@Pastorfuzz you’ll have to report back what YOU think. Both the MB and VTA were VERY good shakes…

Nothing But Shakes

@SessionDrummer

Milkshake Base (VTA) 2% (6-6-20) – Starting these back up again, with the Milkshake Base !!! Having tried a few MS bases (or variants) and been somewhat disappointed by one thing or another, I am always hopeful that the NEXT one, will be better. This one IS quite a bit better than what I expected, and at 2%, gave up some really good Milkshake nuances. Mouthfeel was thick and creamy, with sweetness higher on the scale, maybe mid level plus one, but not overbearing. It didn’t present as overly “malted”, and was fairly neutral with no choco, or nilla notes, which will really let you push/pull this to your shake liking. I’ve seen other reviews where they picked up malted notes, but to me, the note was more of a condensed milk note. At 2% didn’t appear to be hitting the ceiling, and the overwhelming singular takeaway from this was creamy mouthfeel !!! Not a problem, when you’re working up milkshakes. During testing, I was almost overcome by a desire to toss in my fav SB base, just to see, BUT, that will come later. As a single, this didn’t present any off notes, no in your face BA, and just a really good creamy, milkshake without anything extra. Clearly far more than a simple Milk, or Cream, so VTA did this justice. Feels great @ 9.4/10.

@SessionDrummer

Milkshake (Molinberry) 5% (2-13-21) – This one was a WOW right out of the gate. A clean milkshake with hints of Vanilla, and a delicious creamy mouthfeel that rode all the way through the vape. No off-putting notes in this one, and the texture and mouthfeel were very present and worked almost flavwlessly here. No sour notes, no BA, and the cream notes danced between a milk and then a cream. Quite an interesting vape. Completely convincing to its namesake, and might just be the best Milkshake I’ve tried. Slight, almost malted notes at the very end of the vape, but the entire vape up to that point was clean, sweet, and creamy. Worked through two tanks figuring something would rear it’s ugly head, but nothing did. If you want a great lightly vanilla-d milkshake with plenty of cream and milk, with good mouthfeel, this one WILL do it for you. The texture, and mouthfeel def. help sell it, and they sell it good. Will review my other notes, as there’s a lot of them, but this may just be the best MS yet. 10/10.

@SessionDrummer

Milkshake (CAP) 4% (1-16-22) – In a word, WOW !!! I’ve got to give you more than that, right ? In many milkshake flavors I have tried, there was often a common “dairy” element, maybe even a “malted” element, that was used to simulate a “milkshake”, and I had expected it to be in this one as well. It wasn’t !!! This was exciting as that flavor/element/profile always seemed to be just a blah workaround. It wasn’t terrible, BUT, it always felt, “just kind of close”. Great thing for us, is that was NOT present here, and that really opened up the possibility for a newly new Milkshake for all of us. This presented as a very clean, and accurate Milkshake, BUT, without any typical vanilla, or malted profiles, which left it completely willing, and able to be molded into whatever you needed it to be. It was fairly creamy, and had good mouthfeel, but wasn’t the tops in either, but neither was lacking. For those of you in the US, it was VERY close to a Chick-Fil-A milkshake. Because it WAS lacking that aforementioned dairy/malted note, I could see almost unlimited uses for this flavor, and even as a solo, was pretty damned impressive. If you’ve been let down by other Milkshake flavors, or found yourself needing a clean, accurate one, this one should be on your list. It wasn’t buttery rich like LB’s VIC, but cleaner, like Sobucky’s Ice Creams. For my milkshake needs, even while not topping the ultra creamy or mouthfeel departments, I just couldn’t mark this one down. 4% left it full, rich, and just above mid-level sweet, and pushing it higher probably wouldn’t saturate it any more. Clean, crisp, neutral, accurate, without any off-putting notes. 10/10.

I actually had really good luck with the CAP’s. Do you remember what you got from it ? Off-notes ?

[McDuckie]

I should put that VT Milkshake base on my next order it’s been awhile since I made the recipe Celtic Knot. I blew through a 30ml making that recipe. So good

[St3v0]

I think it was someone a lil ahead of my time… tis not I…

[Pastorfuzz]

No off notes. I just like the Molinberry better. It has more of a malt feeling to me.

[Psycho_316]

Is it a smooth malt or over malted like vta. I found the vta just too much

[Pastorfuzz]

I haven’t tried the VTA yet. I just found it yesterday.
Didn’t even remember I had it

@SessionDrummer

Milkshake Base (VTA)

I use this quite often, I find it really good. Nice mouthfeel and goes well to add more depth to custards and creams. One I highly recommend personally.

[ladycrooks]

I subbed a bunch of them it seemed to work out so far…oh wait i only subbed the molinberry now i am confused and i want mb milkshake and VTA
.shit…

[Mike_card]

Yup it is good as is, i use the Cap milkshake a lot too cuz it is a great shake base,i add SSA Van ice cream at 1% and its spot on Van Milkshake.I have a nice Pineapple van milkshake with whipped cream and a hint of cherry on top But i dont blame u its kinda like that Van custard your reluctant to add to cuz like steve o’s it’s perfect as is lol

[ladycrooks]

What cherry would you add? I have never found one yet that didnt have a cough syrup thing to it. n I only have 3 or 4 i have FA cherry and FA cherry juice and I believe bakewell ssa is a cherry aroma but none of which ive tried cuz im a bit intimidated.

[Mike_card]

Ahh SSA is doing good things with 3 diff cherries and no detection of that cough syrup we hate.SSA Juicy Cherry is a really good one for me.The compote one is more jolly rancher naturally but good …but if you haven’t tried the Juicy Cherry its been fantastic,not too dark but fresh bold cherry with a more natural flavor.Great for all kinds of dessert bakeries,beverages and shakes etc best of all ssa is affordable for what they are and i haven’t needed more than 1% yet

[Psycho_316]

Bakewell has cherry in it but it suppose to mimic a bakewell tart. So the cherry should be slight on it

Bakewell tart

So its not something you would want in a shake lol.

Black cherry fa 2.5% and cherry juice fa 1% makes a nice cherry with no off notes. I do add black cherry mf at .5% and ripe cherry ssa at 1.25% and it really presents itself nicely. Red cherry molinberry is a good one too. Very smooth vibrant cherry. But as cherrys are on they own they do tend to mellow so i need to mix with multiple cherries so i dont have to go to high and the run into the medicinal or floral off notes.

[Psycho_316]

This is where his came from it was nice of him to give credit to the person but here is the original base

@ladycrooks

…milkshake with whipped cream and a hint of cherry…
What cherry would you add?

Cherry Delight Sasami is one big step above all SSA cherries, however it’s a Morello Cherry (which isn’t bad since way more useful and flavorful). Natural, slightly cooked, but not too much, slightly syrupy, but not jammy; not candy or artificial in any way. Perfectly balanced to allow bending in any desired direction, with a convincing smell, it’s not shy, it likes to ride on top and it doesn’t get lost in a recipe. Useful for any fruity/bakery mix, cherry lemonade, best for creams / ice creams, yogurt or with dark chocolate or just plain homemade cherry liqueur (it reminds me most on those morello cherries in liqueur without a liqueur). Top class and highly usable flavor, i’d probably put it in top 5 fruity flavors; hard to be improved, not looking for a better version.
