Capella Boston Cream Pie V2
ihatetoridethebus
Setup: Freakshow mini, dual-Ti at 280Celsius, cottonwicks
Testing: Cap Boston Cream Pie V2 at 6%, steeped 8 days
- Smell: Milk chocolate, creamy vanilla top notes, weak alcoholic notes, very light/fluffy dough, no yeast at all, caramel/malt accents, weak dairy smell
- Taste: Inhale creamy vanilla, whipped cream and slight milk chocolate, rich mouthfeel. Exhale weak bakery notes, very rich cream, chocolate taste darker than the inhale. Lingering caramel and vanilla notes. Off-flavors: Inhale every so slightly alcoholic Throat hit: None
Uses and pairings: I cannot imagine working it with strong fruit or citrus flavors, maybe blueberry. Adding grain (Sugar Cookie Cap, Cookie Fa, Biscuit IW) could work very well, as a Boston Cream Pie should have some. Coconut would do as well. It could be used to accentuate creamy vapes that lean on chocolate.
Notes: I do not know V1, I would have expected it needs Diketones, but it works as V2 and is rich and creamy.
That being said, i feel this is a good flavour as is but hard to mix with trying to change the profile to much, it would be better suited to make it a near perfect boston pie/donut than incorporating it in a mix.
