**Ultimate French Vanilla (Flavor Jungle) 3.0% (10-8-23)** -- Ok, NOW we're onto something, and it might JUST be, and Ultimate. Now many people don't really know [what a French Vanilla is](https://www.allrecipes.com/article/vanilla-vs-french-vanilla-difference/), but I think Jungle Flavors does. French Vanilla isn't really a specific Vanilla Bean, but more of an inclusion of Egg Yolks. Yes, that's right, IN the Vanilla, and it was IN HERE !!!!! Yes, it presented as a somewhat darker, almost spicy Vanilla, with GREAT Custard elements. I'm writing this during the FIRST tester, so YES, it was THAT good. I think I might buy a bigger bottle before I finish this. The slightly darker Vanilla just simply worked here, and the custard elements while eggy, were not egg-heavy, which is going to appeal to a LOT of people, many of whom want some egg, but not slammed with egg. It was damned good at 3%, and I had NO desires to increase it. Sweetness was about a tick above mid-level, and I just couldn't find any off-notes or take-offs to complain about. Great mouthfeel, fairly rich, and creamy, but without any overt cream notes if that makes sense. At times, I almost got a light bakery element in there, that just worked to thicken up the entire experience. All in, a slightly darker vanilla with just a hint of spicy-ness, with great custard notes, that weren't overly eggy. I waited until the second tester before deciding to release the Kraken, and rock this one at a **10/10**.
