This is just a quicky review - I pulled out this juice in my weekly "juice review" and figured I'd mention it.

Basically, if you take their Pudding Cake and add butter to it, you'll have this juice. I have never had this dessert, so I can't compare flavors. For those who don't know, Pudding Cake is a lovely vanilla custard flavor, with, maybe, a tinny strange aftertaste on the exhale, which doesn't prevent me from using it up with amazing speed - it's just perfect when I have a craving for something sweet and creamy with no "cake" per se. To me it tastes like an eclair filling. I will do a complete review on it at a later date.

GBC, however, is kinda strange-y to me. You can definitely taste the butter in addition to custard, but above around 3.6 V the butter starts tasting kinda strange me, on the verge of being bitter. Maybe it's just me. Normally I like buttery flavors, but this one I "only" like. It's good. IMHO, it's not great. There is no "specialness" to it. I'm not sure if this particular custard flavor and this particular butter flavor go together all that great. And butter sort of envelops my tongue - I don't really find the sensation all that pleasant...

But, as they say, taste it subjective. I just don't find the same excellence and artistry in this as I find in Pudding Cake. YMMV.

TH is low
Vapor is great
Moderately sweet
Moderately viscous
Amber yellow
Mostly middle notes with a hint at bottom note
Blended well, moderately nuanced flavor
Tastes like moderately realistic vanilla custard with butter. No cake flavor that I can detect.

Tested in a 2.5 Ohm Stardust on a Twist, from 3.2V to 4.0V. Most developed and nuanced flavor at 3.5V. Steeped two weeks.

This company is great, btw, customer service-wise.
