Opinions or anything on INW Creme Brulee or Shortbread?
For
my palate; INW Creme Brulee, is INW Custard with a noticeable burnt sugar note (as is the signature flavor in real life creme brulee). INW Custard, is much lighter/less dense, than the more popular CAP, TFA, and FA offerings... and why I like it. INW Creme Brulee has this same light custard base as its foundation. Those, who find INW Custard to be too "thin," or lacking body; are likely to find the same thing in INW Creme Brulee. For me, it is more flan-like (minus the caramel sauce), instead of rich custard. and that suits me better.
Onto that custard/flan foundation; they have added a burnt sugar note. To me, the burnt sugar is easily identifiable, but is not overwhelming/excessive. I also don't find it particularly "sweet," as one might think sugar would imply.
(Generally speaking; I don't find the majority of INW concentrates to contain much in the way of sweeteners. It seems to me, that they leave that, for the user to add at their own discretion.)
I enjoy INW Creme Brulee quite a bit and it will remain in my stash for the foreseeable future. But, I can see how it may not appeal to everyone. I would recommend starting with a small order until you see if it is right for you.
If I recall correctly;
@ceeceeisme was the first one to share their thoughts on INW Shortbread. I believe she said it was much more buttery (and less "dry"?) than INW Biscuit. I have yet to try it. But, because I am a huge Biscuit fan, it remains right at the top of my BCF wish list.
