Chef's Flavours Nice Custard Cream
mysticrosell
Percentage Used: 20% WOW! I know, the percentage given for use by Chefs Flavours was 30%. My hand kept shaking in fear when I tried to go over 20%, so I just gave up.
Equipment Used: Troll RDA with a wickless single SS .8 ohm Clapton coil at 20W.
PG/VG: 30/70
Steep Time: 31 Days
Aroma: Bright vanilla, cream, cookie, specifically (insert famous maker here) English Tea cookies.
Flavor Description: This is a cookie dominant custard with good body. The body isn't coming from the cream, more of the slight dryness wafer type texture of the cookie. It tastes very much like a shortbread or butter cookie, served in a bowl with a smooth vanilla pudding. I can swear I am tasting INW Biscuit in this one, or AP? I wouldn't classify this as a custard as it's missing that heavy dark vanilla, rich cream, and eggs. Which is not a bad thing at all. It's very similiar to instant vanilla pudding made with milk. With a very light back note of coconut. I'm sorry, I'm not describing this well. I think it must be past my bedtime. To be honest, this is such a distinct and developed flavor that it's going to take some creativity to make blends with this one. It will be fun trying though, and it's an excellent ADV single flavor.
Off Flavors: Coconut
Throat Hit: 3/10
Pairings: Pastries, lemon, pineapple, peaches, pears, berries, banana, coffee, cookies, pies, creams, custards, nuts, tobaccos, spices, cinnamon, nutmeg. Avoid melons.
Notes: Again, I was afraid of the recommended percentages. I actually think the 20% is a good strength on this one. For my tastes the 30% would be too much. I'm going to stop beating around the bush here. This is a bite of Jello Instant Vanilla Pudding scooped up with a Mother's English Tea Cookie sprinkled with a bit of coconut.
