**Smore (Sterling Cloud) 2.5% (8-27-24)** -- You guys know me, or most of you do, and those who do, KNOW I love the S'mores. Still chasing the dragon trying to nail down just that PERFECT mix. It's actually a lot harder than it would seem. Getting the right flavors is only HALF the battle, getting the RATIOS is almost harder. Sterling Cloud did a great job with this flavor. I loved their Graham Cracker (above), and the Marshmallow was pretty good. I haven't solo'd their Choco, but it's in THIS one. The stellar Graham Cracker was here, along with the MM, and there was some pretty damned good choco in here as well. I prefer a S'mores where the GC doesn't get buried under the chocolate, and that's exactly how SC did this one. The GC was almost the top note, with the Chocolate in 2nd place, with the MM in a close third. VERY well ratio'd

I won't repeat the GC, and MM intel here, but they worked VERY good here. At 2.5% it was great, and hard to put down. Sweetness was just at mid-level, and I didn't pick up on any off-notes. About my only complaint would be a slight dryness on the finish. The choco tasted like a mid-dark chocolate, which worked perfectly here, not dark, and not a milk choco. No smoke, fire, or charring here, but I didn't miss them. If you like S'mores, you'll love this one. Taking off only for the very slight dryness on the finish, and leaving it high at a **9.510.**
