The Gift That Keeps On Giving Till It Kills You 9

Month nine was "camping" themed. I guess we've eaten too much ice cream at this point because I have to say I thought it was kind of uninspired. Bacon in this. S'more something something. Fruity mix sorbet. Coffee. Month summarized. 

 Except for the Muddy Buddies. Woah, that was a curve ball that hit the batter.

 

- Maple Bacon Streusel

Scott: Kind of a caramel maple flavor with bits of bacon in it. Not bad by any means, but not great either. Just maple and bacon in ice cream.

7.510

Liz: Tastes kind of like a breakfast-y bacon-y waffle-y -- like one of those waffles with the maple cooked into it.

7/10 -4 for bacon

 

- Bug Juice Sorbet

Scott: A tasty fruit punch flavor. Best enjoyed in a smoothie, though.

6/10

Liz: Kind of a boring fruit punch flavor. Gave it to the vegans.

3/10 

 

- Salted Hazelnut Praline S'mores -

Scott: More hazelnut than s'more for sure. Marshmallows were there, but kind of secretly blended-in in a way that I would probably not have guessed they were there. Chocolate was present in the form of random blobs and graham cracker in what I guess was cookie dough. It was good, but no s'more.

7/10

Liz: A bit heavy on the hazelnut for my taste. I'm not seeing any marshmallow... found a chunk of something... <editor's note: turned out to be a dough chunk> good chocolate ganache...

5/10

 

- Cowboy Coffee Grinds & Bourbon

Scott: It's coffee flavor so it's good. That's it.

6.5/10

Liz: A decently flavorful coffee base with brownie chunks that were good. Nothing that would put this ice cream shop on the map, but a solid flavor I wouldn't mind munching on the couch. Addendum: the chocolate ganache reservoirs were better than the brownie chunks.

6.5/10 + 1 for stuffing a ganache torte in there


 - Mushroom Muddy Buddies

Scott: Weird with a hint of peanut butter. And maybe dirt.

?/10

Liz: Hmm... that's odd. If there are muddy buddies they are pulverized very tiny. I don't think I would have identified it as mushroom. But I guess there's an umami flavor. I don't know. I don't think it's for me.

3/10
