Butterscotch and Custard - Dripping Desserts

[ghostrider1971]

Steeped - 2 weeks
Concentrate - 20% (in 250ml bottle shot)
Nic - 4mg
Otherwise max VG
Usual Voopoo house brick and Cleito v.1 with a Cleito Pro 0.15ohm mesh coil @ 60w

I think I would already be asking questions - Ummm, you don't really go mad on custards and you've only left this for 2 weeks?

Usual short and sweet review? "Absolutely excellent"

Back in the days of yore, Brother Striker introduced me to Butterboy - a custard and butterscotch and all things wonderful desert juice - a 6 week steep but it was absolutely excellent. I am a huge fan of butterscotch vapes - remember trying one in my earliest days and it was nice but very harsh on the throat in the after taste. I've been looking for a new butterscotch and custard and was looking forward to giving this new one from DD a try.

Mixed it up and did a pretty much instant lick test and thought "Hmmm. We might have something a bit special here". Begrudgingly put it away for a 2 week steep and from the first vape this one certainly has the wow factor. It is already silky smooth and absolutely packed with flavour. There is that dark, rich sugar flavour from the butterscotch that sits on the tip of the tongue after the exhale. The first part of the exhale is the real clever stuff. The butterscotch sits on top and a nice creamy vanilla custard stays separate in a layer below. 

DD have, in my humble, done an absolutely stonking job on this one. It is warm and welcoming and comforting. With a pint mug of the favourite Douwe egberts in the right hand and tank of B&C in the left, we have a pretty happy Andy. I decided to break this one out after two weeks for a couple of reasons - 1) The lick tests were just getting better and better and 2) I was just desperate to try another butterscotch custard

Not sure if people would view this as more of an Autumn/Winter flavour (still, summer hasn't been up to much so far?) Finally, the absolute key for me in this one is the sweetness balancing. The custard is creamy but not overly sweet. The butterscotch is strong but certainly not overpowering and I love the hits of molasses or dark brown sugar preventing over sweetness.

Ok, I've rambled on far too long as usual - this one is great

TBH i tried the butterscotch / custard / caramel pre - made from them last weekend found it very overpowering in
the caramel department.
so does this have the caramel in it ?????
Also funny enough i have just opened a bottle of butterboy that i mixed last week and must say to me its a much better pure / proper butterscotch.

B Road Blaster - Good question on the caramel, but I would guess not. Butterboy is really nice - I found it pretty weak earlier on but after the full 6 weeks it was excellent.

I've read in other places that the rice pudding and raspberry jam from DD is supposed to be excellent - sadly I don't like raspberry jam....or rice pudding

I found Butterboy waaaaaaaaaaaaay too sweet for my tastes Andy, would you say this one from DD is far less so?

[ghostrider1971]

Perpetua - Very much so - I know exactly what you mean about Butterboy - almost a kind of pure sugar sweet - hard to be exact but I would say a good third less sweet than BB
