Dang, every review of Scotchy Scotch Scotch has had an epic looking swirl in it!

[Vendetta52]

Is the Scotchy Scotch Scotch a Target/Walmart exclusive or do all stores carry it? I have not seen it yet by me.

All stores, if the stores still have pina colada you more than likely will have to wait until they run out of that inventory.

Also had a pint of Scotchy Scotch Scotch earlier tonight, but didn't take any pictures. Regardless, I have to say I was beyond impressed and loved the flavor, especially the crazy amount of swirl! A- in my book!

B-
Nice creamy base that was pretty much straight coffee, sweet cream component was overpowered.

Ben and Jerry's Scotchy Scotch Scotch: A
Like others have said, if you love butterscotch you will love this. If you "sorta" like butterscotch you most likely will think it is too over powering. I love this flavor because it is completely in your face with the butterscotch flavor, B&J's did not try to hold back at all on this one, which I appreciate. The swirl is ridiculously crunchy, if the description had "butterscotch candy pieces" in it I would not think twice. Nice surprise, now I just wish they would release an all out peanut butter flavor with this much power.

Hm. Anticipation raised...

[The Solution]

Chocolate and Vanilla Ice cream with Gobs of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Fudge Brownies is what this pint gives and with that it does deliver in the Cookie Dough Aspect. The base is a good blend of chocolate/vanilla mixture that would remind you of a Soft Serve Dairy Queen Cone that melts in your mouth.

The key feature though is the chunks of cookie dough. Literally you are looking at 1" chunks of Cookie dough in some aspects that are not hard as a rock but a nice rich and chewy texture. The Fudge Brownie pieces i found more towards the bottom of the pint which were good, and again not hard as rocks. I would still claim 2nd Street has better brownies in its "Tons of Brownies" pint, but overall this is a solid pint for a Cookie Dough/Brownie Lover. This is a reason why its a staple on the Ben n Jerry Line-up as a classic. It delivers.

Maybe just taking it away to perfect it and then re-release it when they start selling factory packed pints! We can hope! And also, I agree with your choice to pick up a pint of C7LB, probably my 2nd or 3rd all time favorite flavor. BUT, were you actually able to taste/notice any graham cracker swirl?! I know it is included in the description but I know myself (and some others ITT) have not been able to taste or see any graham cracker swirl whatsoever. At least not nearly as much as some of BnJ's other offerings that include it.

You are right - its definitely not the same type graham swirl as say Pumpkin Cheesecake - more like a caramel/butterscotch graham swirl - not too much graham flavor but my pint had tons of the swirl

I called another scoop shop by me and they still had Candy Bar Pie - I picked up 2 hand packed pints last night - stuff is AMAZING for any PB junkie. Kind of reminds me of what a snickers PB ice cream would taste like. Definitely better than WAC in my opinion

Thanks for the info. All of the stores near me still have pina colada, great....

Correct. Manager at store confirmed this as well. When it runs out they are going to stock it
He even claimed Pina Colada does not sell well so it may take some time.

[Growlove21]

Anybody try b&j "What a Cluster"?

I have to say I was quite disappointed by it. I was expecting some crunch, not chewy caramel/marshmallow clusters.

You must have had a bum pint, I love WAC. It's in my top 5 for sure.

"Peanut Butter Ice Cream with Caramel Cluster Pieces, Marshmallow Swirls & Peanut Buttery Swirls"

Why would you expect crunchiness?

Lol idk when I read cluster I excepted some crunch aspect. Like a caramel brittle type cluster? even tho is didn't say brittle...guess it comes dowen to the details man

I mean the peanut butter swirls were the **** but I love any peanut butter icecream.

may not necessarily be the case, though. the place where i got pumpkin cheesecake and SSS had pina colada still on the shelf.

[seamus33]

i realize the pic is pretty poverty. that's mcconnell's winter cranberry chip and jeni's sweet potato and torched marshmallow on the bottom left.

You are very unaware, and think WAC is going to be crunchy.. oh lawl.

Did you really think the base was "brown sugar"? I found it very faint if Any was in that base. More of a basic vanilla.

[Growlove21]

Lol I am, im not a huge icecream eater.

I realize im stepping onto some connoisseur grounds in this thread lol

Hmmm...2-3 hour drive, depending on traffic. Never tried it yet, may need to suck it up.
