Sugar Cane SC-WF

Sugar Cane (SC) (WF) 3.5% (10-7-23) – Finishing up this series I started about a month ago, with this, the Sugar Cane. I really liked this one during the Alpha tests, and that continued here as well. This presented as a fairly rich, almost buttery (without any butter notes) sugar cane. It had an almost “thickness” to it that really added to the realism. There were some darker sweetened notes, BUT, not of the molasses type, just darker sweet notes. At 3.5% it was damned good, rich, and full, and didn’t leave you wanting. Sweetness was just at about mid-level, but it wasn’t cloying OR annoying (hehe). Despite not being overly complex, it was still a very enjoying flavor to test. I couldn’t get past the (repeating) buttery richness of it SANS the butter, and I’m not sure how Frank and his crew over at Wonder Flavors did it. No off-notes to be found EXCEPT (gotcha), I got a very distinct undertone from beginning to end, and I’m going to ask @Lynda_Marie to chime in on this and see if she got it as well. I think one (or more) of the compounds used in this flavor are/were also used in more than a few DONUT flavors. I knew it the moment I tasted it. I’m NOT going to qualify it as an “off-note” because it seemed to help push the “darker” envelope, and it just worked. All in, this one was a great, darker, sugary, almost buttery rich flavor, that kept you coming back for more. I’m pushing this up a tick from my Alpha rating and dropping it at a solid 9.3/10.
