**Sweet Potato Pie (Sterling Cloud) 2.5/3.5% (8-31-24)** -- RIGHT out of the gate, I'm going to WARN you, this one IS, BBA (Big Bottle Approved). Wowzer. To be honest, when mixing these up, THIS was the one that stood out. Guess what, it STILL stood out !!!! I caught myself mixing up ANOTHER bottle, and I still have other flavors to review. Yes, this one WAS excellent. I don't think I've ever reviewed a SPP before, so this IS a first. This one was literally SPOT ON, for a Sweet Potatoe Pie. Started out at 2.5%, felt like it needed a little more, and 3.5% drove it home. Very accurate SP pie filling with some light spice, and a slightly creamy undertone. The crust on this one was stellar. It reminded me of FA's Apple Pie flavor, where the crust stole the show. It didn't entirely steal the show, as the SP filling was on point, but the crust was up near the TOP of the good crusts. No graham crust here, but more of a INW Biscuit crust, with a nice light buttery undertone.

The spice" level was about perfect, with JUST enough presence, and not TOO much. I couldn't fully decode it, whether cinnamon, nutmeg, or clove, and could have even been a combo of them, but needless to say, it perfectly suited the flavor, and worked to ACCENT the overall profile, without overshadowing it. The SP filling (as I'm calling it), was very accurate, and not pumkin-y, and was very natural tasting. Smelling it in the bottle you'd SWEAR, you had a slice sitting on a plate in front of you. Yes, it was THAT good. At 3.5% it was very rich, and full, but didn't increase linearly from 2.5%, so perhaps 3.0% might be the SFT sweet spot. ZERO issues, complaints, or off-notes. My third tester is literally running DRY, forcing me to put it down, and write this review. Release the Kraken again folks, Big Bottle Approved, and landing it at a JTDG (Just Too Damned Good) **10/10**."
