Jungle Flavors - Cookie
submitted over 9 years ago by myep0ninePâtissier

Testing Equipment

Plumeveil, dual clapton, full wick, 55W

The Flavor setup

  • 70vg/30pg
  • 0% nic
  • 4% flavoring

Steep Time

S&V and 3 weeks

Initial Thoughts

got a caramel, buttery note right off the bat. aroma smells like pancake syrup. at 4% it's very light. Main flavor of this is dark caramel/Maple syrup with a faint bakery note in the back. kinda reminds me of a soggy stroopwafel. needs more of a bite to the cookie.

After 3 week Steep

I feel the flavor died a bit. During the inhale you get some unflavored sweetness, and during the exhale you get a faded maple syrup/bakery note. Aftertaste has a slight alcohol note. The pancake syrup aroma after the exhale is gone as well. I really should have tested this at a higher %.

Possible Pairings

I can see this be used as a base in a pacake/waffle/french toast/Stroopwafel recipe. it's pretty muddled and flat in each area, but that allows stronger and brighter flavors, like FA Cookie, FA maple syrup, INW waffle, to be brought in and still have a homogenized taste.

Other Stuffs:

Came up with an idea the other day to post up my ever growing list of flavors up on google sheets so you guys can check it out and suggest what flavors I should test and post notes on. A lot of these I bought as a sure why not add on purchase to get free shipping, so they're still untested. I can prolly knock out around 3-5 flavors per week depending on steeping times. you can find the list here.

I know, but a second opinion doesn't hurt. Although as long as the thread is less than 6 months old, the ideal place to share those alternative perceptions is in the comments on the previous review.

was thinking about doing comparison reviews since a lot of questions seem to be what is the best _____? did that a little bit with some mangos since they're part of a recipe I'm working on, but I can dive down deeper with them. good thing I have a tester of NN mango cream that's been steeping for a couple months, cause that stuff was haaaarsh when I first got it lol.

Comparison reviews are awesome mostly because they answer that question, but also because it's easier to describe the flavors in a meaningful way when you're comparing and contrasting aspects of them with aspects of other flavors.
