As always, the purpose of this thread is to gather the community to explore a category of flavor and its many uses. And it's also to have FUN!
Post recipes containing this week's Flavor of the Week, as the star or in a supporting role, with or without development notes. Talk about other people's recipes that use it. Compare and contrast different manufacturers' versions of the FOTW. Ask for help using that flavor in general or to achieve something specific, offer advice, brainstorm ideas, consider substitutions, suggest pairings... really anything at all as long as it's on topic.

Wait, where's /u/ID10-T's review of FW Chocolate Mint? IIRC, it was something along the lines of "Oh HELL noes"
It's not listed in the Flavor Review Wiki so I didn't include it. If you can provide a link - I will.
It's buried in another post, but here
Might want to list:
Ok, I'm gonna say it - FA Cocoa gets a bad rap. It does EXACTLY what the name suggests, straight Cocoa powder. Maybe unsweetened cocoa powder isn't available in murica or something, but it's perfect at the job. (Other than that whole being a serial killer of coils business.) It's not like it takes a lot to give the flavor, either. I rarely use it over the .25-.5% range. And it works with TFA White Chocolate (and maybe a cream) to make a milk chocolate flavor.
> Maybe unsweetened cocoa powder isn't available in murica or something
Yeah, they have that in murica. Source: Murican

FTFY
Maybe if you're from the south where everything is slurred together and since no one seems to know how to spell can't be expected to actually KNOW the syllables in words. The birth place of "mumble rap." Go figure.
Unless of course you were calling me a vagina beard, den dems dare bee fiten wurds!
If anyone is looking for a mint chocolate, try FLV Creme de Menthe. Unlike other CdMs, it has a strong chocolate note. I don't get along with it, but that's not its fault. I like overpoweringly pounding mint situations, and this is more of a chocolate room with a minor mint bouquet (like a really tiny nosegay) situation.
