Well I dont have the lava cake and I would need to sub the LB Icecream as I get pepper but I am sure this would be a ripper given your Sâmores exertise and flavor know how for many a lucky mixer out there.
I canât believe it! I can taste this cake in a pod, put it in by mistake. Teach me for not labeling bottles 
Marzipan (SSA) 0.90% (11-25-23) â I donât recall ever actually eating Marzipan, but Iâve used it from time to time in recipes, most often in cherry/cranberry mixes, or Apple Pies, and itâs worked great. Testing this one would be kind of a first for me. Most times, I canât taste much Almond unless itâs dark and bitter. That continued with this one, for the most part, as I did get SOME lighter, earthy nutty-ness, but it was fairly low in the mix. This could mean Iâm Almond blind ?? The main note did resemble a nice Cherry, riding on a somewhat creamy carrier. Now this was NOT a full on, in your face Cherry, just for clarity, but it did have somewhat soft, yet very distinct cherry overtones. I didnât get an overt bakery element from this, but it had some weight to it, so perhaps that was it. The aforementioned creamy-ness while not to the level of a cream, did seem to soften, or temper the overall flavor. Being a huge fan of everything Cherry this one appealed to my tastes, and I could see using it often. Because it smelled stronger in the bottle I did test this just below 1%, and after 3 testers, it was clear it wasnât overpowering at this weight, and could even be increased a little bit. No off-notes, and it was a few ticks below mid-level sweet. All in, it was a great flavor, with clear Cherry overtones, and a nice creamy middle, with some light nutty undertones on the bottom. This one is harder to rate, as I strongly suspect I donât typically taste Almonds, regardless of the flavor, but with that said, it felt right at a 8.75/10.
Iâm yet to have a failure mixing with it, at the moment I canât think of a cake that would top it. Easily one of the best cake flavours, especially being how complete it is and a really nice lemon to boot.
Milkshake Dairy (SSA) 1%/2 (11-26-23) â I LOVE da Milkshakes, but I find, or HAVE found it to be very hard to find one that checks all the boxes for me. Most have had some sort of an off-note, or something that just pulled it sideways, most times, just a bit. Could this offering from Sobucky, knock my recently crowned âKing of the Milkshakesâ ?? No, BUT, it gave it a run for itâs money. I got a note from this one that I think I got from Molinberryâs as well, but it presented as a bit cleaner. Just in case you didnât know about the whole Sobucky/Molinberry/Chemnovatic thing, theyâre all related, and Monlinberry is ceasing to exist. Joint Ventures, etc, etc. Regardless, I did get some of the same notes that I did from the Molinberry. I started testing this one at 1%, but it felt under powered, so I doubled it, and it tasted much fuller, with much improved mouthfeel.
This one was presented as a fairly rich and creamy milkshake, with a light vanilla undertone, BUT, it had the slight aftertaste that I mentioned above, and have gotten from a few others. At first I thought a dry malted note but it wasnât malted, maybe it was a dry powdered milk note. Hard to completely nail down, but once I taste it, I canât not taste it. Very creamy, with great mouthfeel, and the creameries lingered on the tongue. Sweetness was actually a few ticks below mid-level, which was impressive, so you could sweeten if needed. My only nit-pick, WAS that damned note, hehe. Now, we ALL taste things differently, so I STRONGLY suggest picking this one up, and post YOUR comments, just to see how YOU view it. All in, at 2%, it was a damned fine milkshake, lightly vanillaâd, with a very impressive mouthfeel, and richness. For my tastes, it wasnât as clean as either Sobuckyâs other Ice Creams, nor CAPâs Milkshake. BUT, tastes vary. After about the third tester, I decided that the âoff-noteâ, or the dry powdered milk note I was getting was fairly low, AND, could probably easily be overcome in recipes, so I reduced the take-offs for it, and decided on a solid 9.0/10 for this one. If you DO pick this up, please add your comments.
Milky Caramel Fudge (SSA) 1% / 2% (12-11-23) â I spent a LOT of extra time on this one, and ended up doubling it from 1% to 2%. At 1% I got a faint creamy, maybe milky-ness to it, but not much else. I doubled it, and re-ran it, and although it did get a LITTLE stronger, it wasnât much. Having been completely blown away by SSAâs Caramel Biscuit, I was somewhat let down by this one. It was a very light flavor even at 2%, and although I did get SOME milky-ness, the caramel and fudge were even lighter. For my tastes, it felt like it just wasnât enough of either of the three. As an added bonus, hehe, I got an almost âbaby powderâ off-note. At 2% this was a very light flavor, and caution would have to be used, as I could see it being driven over in a mix. There was some mouthfeel, but again, (you guessed it), it was fairly light. All in, it wasnât an off-putting flavor, but it just tasted like all 3 of the main profiles never really took off, at least for my tastes. A very light milky flavor with just a bit of mouthfeel, and slightly sweetened, with an even lighter caramel, and maybe a hint of fudge. Scoring this was going to be painful, BUT, it needed to be done, and I finally settled on a flat 5.0/10. Probably NOT on my âbuy againâ list. Please test for yourself, and report back.
Premium Raspberry (SSA) 0.90% / 2.0% (12-13-23) â I started this one out a little lower fearing florals, BUT, there were none. It tasted fairly light so I pushed it up to 2.0%, and it got stronger, and better. Even at the 2% weight, it still felt a little relaxed, but far more present than the lower weight. I donât know if Iâd say it screamed, âPremiumâ, but it was pretty good. It presented as a sweetened, bordering on candied Red Raspberry. The âcandiedâ-ed-ness of it was greater than the actual sweetener level for clarity. I didnât pick up on as many of the darker lower notes, or higher brighter notes, and it seemed centered more on the middle body of a Red Raspberry. Not overly tart, but there was a twinge of it on the finish, and that helped keep it interesting. At times, the âcandiedâ part of it reminded me of a Ludens cough drop, not the medicine/medicinal, but the actual flavor profile. I donât think it will bump SSAâs Raspberry Syrup off itâs perch anytime soon, but it was still a good RB flavor. I donât think it could carry the main freight in a RB mix, but def. be used as an additive, filler, builder. Nice, more candied than fresh, and with just a hint of tartness on the finish. Overall, it was a very smooth raspberry for my tastes. No real off-notes, or florals, and it was just at about mid-level sweet. It felt good at an 8.0/10.
Premium Strawberry (SSA) 1% / 2% (12-14-23) â With this, the ninth in this series of testing, I was starting to notice a trend with a few of the SSA flavors, where they were a little weaker than expected, and doubling them in strength seemed to suite them better. This one was one of those, wherein I started testing a 1%, and although a Strawberry, it just tasted thin, and underpowered, and after doubling it to 2% it was much better, and still felt like it could use a little more. It presented as a nice, slightly juicy, red, ripe strawberry. âPremiumâ will be hard to define for all of you, and I"m not sure if Iâd label it or that not, but more on that later. At 2% it was fairly full, and it seemed to favor the middle of the SB, while missing out on much of the bright, sparkly top notes. There were a few there, but they were sparse, and there was a nice little tarty-ness on the finish. It had a certain âsmoothâ quality to it, and I think that was from a candy, almost light taffy-like undertone to it. I wouldnât call it a âcandied SBâ, but it did have some of those aspects, so that might limit itâs uses. There were no off-notes, or florals, and it was just below mid-level sweet. All in, a good SB contender, that seemed centered more around the mid body notes of a red SB, missing some of the bright sparkly top end, and with some light candy, almost taffy-like elements thrown in. In comparison to the just tested Premium RB, I am going to rate this one higher, but still not into stellar territory, and leaving it at a 8.9/10.
Smooth Hazelnut Filling (SSA) 1% / 2% (12-16-23) â As was the case with a few of these new(er) flavors, I did have to double this one up from 1% to 2% for an improved experience At 1% I got a very light, creamy hazelnut, with a hint of chocolate, and doubling did increase the overall profile somewhat. It was still a somewhat laid back flavor, and at 2% it was getting a litter darker in my tester tanks. At 2%, I got the same slightly creamy hazelnut with an increased chocolate. I never really felt like it took on a full on Nutella, but it was TRYING to head that way. After a few testers, and doubling this one, it seemed like it would be better suited as a mixer/baser, than the star of the show. I actually tasted more Hazelnut off the finger than when atomized. It seemed like it needed a litte âmoreâ to really pop, but I left it solidly at 2% for the remaining tests. At the higher weight, it was somewhat improved, and with no real off-notes, except a slight bitterness on the finish, BUT, that actually worked to authenticate the hazelnut. Sweetness levels were a few ticks below mid-level sweet, and overall the hazelnut DID seem to be more pronounced than the chooclate. With the chocolate lower in the mix it was hard to fully flush out, and it was more of a mid dark chocolate, which did seem to pair well with the HN. All in, an interesting flavor, but due to itâs fairly relaxed nature, even doubled, I think it would be best suiting for adding as a mixer to a recipe. Tasty, but it just never really wowwed me. Placing it at a 7.5/10.
Strong Strawberry (SSA) 1% / 2% (12018-23) â I had originally thought to run this one much lower, as it was billed as a âstrongâ, but I left it at the 1% rate, and then doubled it to 2% for the duration. At 2% it didnât appear to be hitting the ceiling, muting, or bending. It was and interesting blend of Strawberry types, and they were sweet, candied, and jammed, ALL in one package. Even at 2%, while very present, it wasnât heavy or overpowering, and it was tasty. Because it seemed to straddle a few types, this one could, and will have a lot of uses. Smelling it in the bottle, there was a much higher amount of jammy-ness, and almost pectin, but testing it, they receeded a bit, and the sweet, and candied became more pronounced. 3 testers in, it was still interesting, and fairly complex, and kept my interest, especially with the jammy kick on the finish. I have to admit, while rolling through the testers, I DID have the urge to splash it into some cream, and milk to see how it would âpinkâ up a milk (Iâll do that after the last flavor in this series). All in, it was a surprisingly complex SB, with hints of sweet, candied, and jammed, with a nice tarty jammy finish. While not supa dupa strong, it was still pretty strong, and tasty. Leaving this one at a high 9.5/10.
Waffle with Butter (SSA) 1% / 2% (12-19-23) â Having picked up QUITE a few waffles for some projects, I WAS looking forward to this one. As with a few of the others, I started testing at 1%, and ended up running it at 2%. At both testing weights, it presented about the same, and that was Butter, with a side of butter, and a pinch of âkindaâ waffles. Hehe, yes, sadly, that was it. The butter was very present, and almost greasy, and I initially thought of âmovie theaterâ butter. Maybe margerine or another artificial NOT butter product. It did not present as a fresh creamery butter letâs say. There was some kind of fairly light bakery-ish element HIDING under the âbutterâ, but it was hard to taste. No real wheat, grains, or vanillas that would tempt you into a convincing waffle, but more of a non-descript dairy with some weight. Because the âbutterâ element was very forward, I would have preferred a more natual butter, and of course some real waffle elements too !!! At 1% it was, butter, butter, hint-o-waffle and the same at 2%. Not a real show stopper, and at least if Sobucky had nailed the butter part, it could have been more usable. Sadly they kinda missed both the ârealâ butter boat, and the waffle boat. Closing out this Sobucky series with this one, and leaving it fairly low, and it felt generous to award it a 4.5/10.
Now that these are done, I can FINALLY read and see what others thought about them. IMO, the Lemon Pound Cake and Marshmallow were the SUPER Stars in this series. Far more in the middle of the pack, and a few I rated lower. As always, just because some flavors may not excel as soloâs doesnât mean they wonât work, and sometimes great, in mixes, and, these are how I tasted them, and your results could be different.
A few stars, a few duds, and far greater in the middle for me in this series.
Hmm everyoneâs taste buds are different naturally but the Noted Flavors crew scored the SSA milky caramel fudge in the top two caramels which featured maybe 24 caramels and i enjoy it too but otherwise i normally agree with most of your 1-10 ratings and look forward to reading my Emails when your testing newly released flavor brands 
Thx for your hard work SD and you cost me some money now ,ordered those from Sobuck own site few days agoâŚ

Youâre very welcome @BigDisplay, and welcome back !!!
There may have been some âcostâ involved, but youâve got a heavy hitter list there !!!
Thx
Around cost those concentrates is actually very chep to buy for me compared to most other concentrates⌠Thatâs rly somthing 
Yes def good prices especially for Noms Super Charged and SSA super aromas. Most are only 4$ and under and you only need 0.5-2% so a 30ml stretches a long ways and each brand has very good selections .I wish Flavorah was 4$

Hi Again @SessionDrummer. Iâve been trying to use this flavor in a Blueberry Eggos recipe, and I have a question. I added one drop to a 10 ml mix, and that initial burnt taste seemed much too dominant, and never really steeped out well, and technically, the recipe only calls for 0.4 of a drop. Iâve been trying to use it as a supporting note to the main flavor, MB Classic Belgian Waffle. Previously, when using FA Honey (another extremely strong flavor) I came across a recipe and mixer that used a 10% dilution of FA Honey in PG in order to mix small batches accurately, and this method worked out super. (I use it in a Butterscotch Reserve by Glas remix that is one of my favorites - if anyoneâs interested, Iâll post it.) What do you think of this approach with SSA Crisp Waffle? If you were to dilute it, at what rate would you suggest? Thanks in advance for any thoughts you have.
