##FLV Milk & Honey##
Summary
Very creamy, nice and sweet, but it's a dark sort of sweetness; think like a dulce de leche, but not quite caramelized if that makes any sense. I don't really get a dairy or butyric acid note from this which is nice. Works very nicely in the base of a recipe as the sweet cream, as long as that dark sweetness plays well with the other elements. One thing I like about this flavoring is its uniqueness and it's fairly forgiving as long it's paired well, so you can come up with some interesting recipes using it.

In this recipe, the Milk & Honey is serving as the main component of the cream base, as well as a base for a dark sweetness to be built upon. It plays really well with the butterscotch here, and pairs really well with banana. Try mixing Milk & Honey with nuts/peanut butter and you'll probably dig the outcome too.
I like pairing this one with CAP Sugar Cookie. It gives me this sort of burnt-end butter/sugar cookie taste. I don't get any chocolate notes when I use this... but I generally use less than 1.5% in any recipe. This is one of my favorite FLV flavors
This is like twice in a weeks time I've seen some interesting talk on this flavor (which I happen to own, but have yet to dive into). I was hoping for a sweet honey with a milk backing.... But it's sounding like I'm gonna be using it quite differently. I need to get my feet wet with it. Not sure which way to go yet. Thinking it might even pair with a pipe tobacco with nuts.
Yeah I was thinking the same but it's a bit different than you'd expect. I would imagine it would go great with a nutty tobacco. Because it's so unique it'd probably be a good idea to test it so you know what to expect
I got pretty scared from the FLV Honey Bee... Man that stuff is strong. So I'm gonna start super low with this one since I'm assuming their using the same "honey" with both of them.
i'm still looking for a real life honey. haven't found one yet.... but i've had juices (store bought) that taste like someone poured real freaking honey into the bottle.
The Schwartz (that premium yogurt juice line) makes a juice called "Ludicrous Speed" that is a killer honey yogurt. It tastes like nothing you've ever tried before; i guarantee it. the stuff is amazing. Weird thing is everyone loves their Up Side and Down Side juice... some stores even carry The Schwartz, but don't carry the Ludicrous Speed flavor. I don't get it.
Who's going to actually see this. Probably nobody but I'll put it out there. I mixed
INW Nutty Princess 2%
FLV Milk & Honey 1.5%
Right off the bat, it's creamy but not very nutty. It's not bad but there's a bit of a background chemical taste which I believe is coming from the Milk & Honey.
I usually let tobacco flavors steep one to two months. I've mixed more junk tobacco flavors (FE Cohiba for example) that turned into gold after a long steep than I can count. Something tells me this will be pretty good around Haloween. I might mix another but drop the MH down to 1%.
I'd go with the "I'll report back" but I know I probably won't so why make the promise.
You didn't get any really chocolately notes from it? From Skiddlz' FLV tasting notes - "Smells like if someone put TFA Bavarian Cream into Yoohoo chocolate water... some serious complexity, with a nice chocolatey(?) flavor mixing with a sweet milk. This tastes almost exactly like Smax Sammie Puffs." He's also compared it to Dulce de Leche. It sounds like that dark sweetness is puzzling and intriguingly difficult to describe. Someone told me two days ago it tastes like a frosted donut or has notes along those lines. Does leave you with any bakery/pastry type or graham cracker or cereal impressions?
I could see it coming across as chocolatey (same could prob be said for TFA Dulce de Leche); me personally, that thought hadn't crossed my mind, no. It definitely is hard to describe lol, like I mentioned, very unique. I wouldn't say I get enough texture to compare it to smax, but maybe like the milk that's left over after a bowl of it. I wouldn't say I get any donut, bakery/pastry notes or anything since the texture for those just isn't present, BUT, it goes extremely well with those sorts of elements.
Really it is very comparable to TFA Dulce de Leche (only brand I've tried), sans the butyric/heavy dairy note.

Absolutely I do, great idea. This recipe actually started off as a banoffee pie and somewhere along the lines turned in to this. I didn't have gcc at the time, but picked it up to try in that crust. The aspect of this that reminds me of dulce de leche I think would work great as that element, and in turn would work very well with the graham
