**Strawberry Waffle (Jungle Flavors) 10% (12-1-24)** -- With this, the last One Shot in this series, we can finish it up. This one I kind of picked on a lark, as it wasn't really in my typical flavor realm, as I much prefer a traditional Waffles, Butter, and Syrup, so I was interested to see what would happen. Getting right into it, there was NO mistaking this was a waffle flavor, and, one with some great buttery notes. There were some light grainy notes baked in, which did help to keep it pretty authentic. On top, were some delicious Strawberries, that leaned heavily towards syruped, as opposed to fresh cut or natural. The two profiles were actually paired very smartly with the ratio being roughly 60% Waffle, and 40% Strawberry. Strength wise, it was as full as you could want at 10%, and pretty much a 10/10 on the strength scale. Sweetness was somewhat high, and I'd tag it at about 2-3 ticks above mid-level, so it was a sweet one. To expand on that, you did get sweetness from the initial onrush, middle, and finish on this one, so if you were sweet sensitive, it might be at your upper limit. Not cloying, but again, a sweet one.

No off-notes to be had, and as is sometimes the case, I had blown through 3 testers before I'd realized I hadn't written a word LOL. Many times when testing waffles, pancakes, they're just kinda close, but not all the way there, like Kinda Waffles", or "Kinda Pancakes", but the waffles here, were just plain waffle-ly. The buttery undertones washed nicely into the syrupy strawberries, and melded together nicely. About the only thing I didn't want to leave out, was a very nice jammy-ness to the strawberries, so that would leave them syrupy, and with jammy accents. All in, for a flavor I wasn't sure I was going to like, I did. My go to will still be butter and syrup, but this one took me by surprise. Leaving it high, with no complaints other than the fairly high sweetness levels, at a **9.0/10**."
