Hahahaha that was hilarious. I knew something was coming but I didnt expect that at the end. Too funny.
Another great review !
I had very similar thoughts about the malty. Ive tried 5 of BWBs flavors and they all have the "rubber" taste to varying degrees. The malty being the lightest of the ones Ive tried. To me its more like a burnt wood flavor... reminiscent to the way a 2x4 smells when you burn it but not quite the same. Hard to explain. Although it does seem to subside with a higher resistance atty.
I dont want to give up on this flavor yet though. There is something in there I enjoy quite a lot, cant put my finger on it. Going to let me bottle steep for a couple months and see what happens.

  • @Newbz - I can certainly see why as I said in the review. For me, it just didn't work. Maybe it was the lack of throat hit, maybe it was that ever so slight rubber taste I got, maybe because it was so subtle, maybe it was the cotton candy... To tell you the truth, I'm not sure, but again I can understand why it's a popular juice.
  • @vapi - Me too... I had nightmares about it last night! Justin really was head of security at a club I worked at. Ben (the attacker) was also on the security staff. They pulled it off perfectly. Justin wanted to give Ben a good beat-down and then mace him in the face, but I had to cool him off a bit. Justin isn't bouncing anymore and he told me last night... "there just isn't enough violence in my life anymore." Bouncers... gotta love'em!
  • @Jackinkc - Thanks! They did a nice job.
  • @Levitas - Thanks! If you like the Malty Toffee and you like a subtle juice, you may really enjoy the Malty. I still need to review the MT you sent me! Don't worry, I haven't forgotten!
  • @Robin Macri - Thanks! You know every time you say "I can't wait to see what's next" you put a lot of pressure on me :)
  • @benztech83 - Thanks! Yep, I can totally understand how this is a beloved juice!
  • @zotzer - Thank Thank Thank you! You aren't wacky at all, it just in your flavor profile and perhaps just not in mine is all.
  • @MagnusEunson - Thanks Man, I appreciate that!
  • @hollyberry - Thank you! - See... another "keep'em coming" How the hell is the grass supposed to get cut? :)
  • @CapableVapable - Thanks! But wait... there's nothing more exciting then getting new juices in the mail!!

Keep the comments coming. I so appreciate them! They keep me going and wanting to produce more for you!

@texastumbleweed - Thanks!!
@Rar - I hope I've said it enough that I can totally understand why it would be such a popular juice. Just not for me is all.
@Sly9377 - Yeah, he's slipping... "Thunder and Lighting" has become "Light Breeze and Drizzle" Although having a guy as big as Ben Dawg come after me was a little scary!!
@hairball - Thanks!!

I like BWB quite a bit. But I know it's not for everyone. Great review.

Also, Malty has a much higher VG content than the rest of Don's juice. Don't want to incite any more riots! ;)

HEY!! One of my reviewing heroes and inspirations! Thanks so much for commenting Mr. Ray! I think I got the PG/VG correct. I said 30/70 in the review and according to the website:

All Juices are a 70/30 PG/VG mix Except for Malty and Malty Toffee which are 30/70 PG/VG

I can certainly understand why this would be such a popular juice, but not necessarily for me!

Anyway, just the fact that you watched one of my reviews is way cool for me. Thanks!!

You're definitely making quite the impact, sir. No need to thank me for enjoying fun reviews.

As for the Malty, in an email exchange w/ Don, he said Malty is VG based. But, I can see where that's pretty misleading based on what he has written on the site. Most of his stuff is 70/30 though, including what is more or less one of my all-time favorites, Honey Flue Cured.
