Flavorah Crème de Menthe

##FLV Creme de Menthe##

Summary
/u/Vurve said it best when he mentioned that this is a very close representation of a Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie. The menthol note is very smooth here and not overpowering in anyway. I get a slight hint of chocolate from it, but it's very mellow. The texture is slightly crisp and full. The mint is not super forward, and the chocolatey-creaminess of this makes me feel it would work well in a base or toward the middle range of a receipe. Overall this flavoring is very nice, and works well by itself. I haven't tried it in many mixes, but I immediately find myself wanting to accent that chocolate note a bit more.

Ingredient|%| :--|:--| FLV Creme de Menthe|1.75%| HS Australian Chocolate|0.5%|

FLV Creme de Menthe is the star here, it is really quite good on its own, but I felt to capture the essence of a Thin Mint it needed just a touch more of that chocolate, preferrably a darker chocolate that's slightly crisp, hence the HS Australian Chocolate.
