vanilla custard CAP
submitted over 9 years ago by Chrisdvr1

rda/ velocity

% Used/ 5 coil/ Clapton w/ 55

Steep time/ 2 weeks wicking/ full

Mouth Feel - Super dense and fluffy. Very heavy on the tongue with no throat hit. I would give it a 9 out of 10 in density.

Flavor Properties - Nice and creamy dairy, moderately eggy, very buttery without being greasy with a smooth Rich vanilla, and in my opinion the perfect level of sweetness.

Relatable Flavors - If you ever made custard ice cream it's a lot like tasting the custard before you put it in the ice cream maker, or a homemade vanilla pudding.

Off Flavors - Just the lightest greasy flavor.

Position in the recipe - Should work as an accent or in a base at low percentages. A strong flavor that should be able to take the top in any cream recipe.

Pairings - The list is really endless here I have yet to find a flavor but doesn't work on some level with this flavoring.

Works well with creams, chocolates, fruits, bakeries, and savory flavors such as coffee I think I'm going to try it with a little bit of I anice fa for a creamy black licorice.

I understand , it's gets old though .

They prevent A LOT of people from deciding for themselves with a small sample bottle which would be helpful advice.

Let people decide for themselves , it not like your buying 4 oz of it to try.

Funniest thing is, and it seems people here aren't aware of it, but American chocolate very commonly contains butyric acid. Many of us Europeans despise American chocolate for exactly that reason.

So I wonder, do the people that hate V2 also hate American chocolate?

I for sure do. that BS we pass off as hersheys chocolate is a joke. Not to mention that US cadbury taste like shit compared to UK cadbury

I read that Cadbury purposely adds vomit flavor to their US chocolates because "that's how American's like it." Ugh, not this American!

Yes! Yes, as an American, I hate Hersey's chocolate for EXACTLY same reason I hate CAP Van Custard V2, it tastes like someone ate good chocolate and then barfed it up and tried to feed it to me.

> very nice creamy smooth and Rich vanilla > tasting the custard before you put it in the ice cream maker or a homemade vanilla pudding

Has to be V1. V2 notes would say "very nice creamy smooth rich vanilla custard ice cream pudding, swallowed, mingled with stomach acid, then regurgitated"

You're not. I can't taste much of a difference between v1 and v2.

I don't know if anyone has said this yet but I have noticed you post a lot of flavor notes recently. They're always concise, consistent and informative.

I think it's really cool, not a lot of people post notes very often. Keep it up man and thanks for your submissions.

Feel free to disregard my advice, but you may want to consider the overall cream profile as well.

What is the balance between vanilla, egg, dairy, butter, sweetness?

All creams are very similar in taste and have these things in common on some level.

Overall, a great flavor review as always.

What do you think about writing each category on a 1 to 10 such as vanilla 8 out of 10 egg 5 out of 10 etc

3 points
 
by Vurveover 9 years agoVurve with the Swurve

Precisely.

Or just spell it out. For example:

Light on dairy, heavy on egg, very heavy on butter, heavy on vanilla, very light sweetness

I like that better I was trying to write it out say it and listing all of those one to ten ratios sounded horrible

Butter & egg are not inherent to all creams ;p

Neither is vanilla or sweetness.

And you're definitely not invited to my birthday party

Yeah, but you're the one that said they all are.

That sucks, you were invited to mine.
