Little g Coffee & Donuts
Not the strongest coffee base, but the taste replicates it perfectly. It is more along the lines of a generic medium roast coffee. There is no espresso flavor involved at all. It has a bit of sweetness to it, but nothing overwhelming. The doughnuts mixins do most of the talking when it comes to the sweetness in this pint.
The texture was a bit icy. I am a little worried because my pints were somewhat soft upon arrival from Goldbely. So I hope the others aren’t refreezes like this one possibly could have been. It was only that way towards the top though. After digging deeper, the texture changed to the same density as all other premium ice creams on the market.
The doughnuts were cake-like in texture. I like doughnuts this way in ice cream because they generally remain a lot softer and chewier. Each one was coated in a sugary glaze that paired quite well with the coffee base. As you all know, she didn’t skimp on the mixins either. They were loaded from top to bottom with some of them being the size of actual doughnut holes they were so big.
Overall, I wasn’t blown away by this pint, but I knew this going in because I am not the biggest coffee ice cream fan in general. However, I know for a fact that based off of the quality of this one, that I am going to absolutely love every other pint in my shipment. I knew this would probably be the least liked out of my order, but if you are a coffee fan you will enjoy this one a lot. B-

Little G's Triple Cookie Dough
and Marshmallow Crispy Treat
Snack Attack is still winning, but man is Triple Cookie Dough close. The cookie dough clusters rivaled Graeters in size.
Marshmallow Crispy Treat would be excellent if the rice krispy treats inside were still...crispy. Very soft and chewy, but I still enjoyed it.iForce Blueberry Muffin: forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=169778043

mcconnell's pumpkin pie
probably the last pumpkin pint of the year and it was pretty good.
premium base that delivers on the pumpkin flavor. could be a homerun if it had some type of graham cracker/pie crust mixed in.
overall still solid pint. but either change the name to just pumpkin or add crust if you name it pumpkin pie.Iron & Ice Cream.
Stop Bitchin.

Salt & Straw Sour Cream Fig Pie
I was pleasantly surprised with this pint. It had a great flavor that was full of brown sugar. The flavor leans more towards raisins than figs. It is sweet, but still has that slight hint of tartness on the back end of each bite. The thickness of the base reminds me of a mascarpone base, especially with added sour cream taste.
The pie crust pieces are dense and scattered everywhere throughout the pint. Once again, S&S doesn’t skimp on the mixins. They are slightly hardened on the outside but have an extremely soft & doughy chew to them on the inside.
There are actual bits of fig mixed in as well, although not near as many as the pie crust mixins. They are just a tad bit harder than I would have liked but that’s expected any time you mix fruit into ice cream. They added a nice crunchy chew to each bite.
I wasn’t expecting much going into this pint and it wowed me. It has a great mix of flavors and kind of reminds me of Balsamic Fig & Mascarpone from Coolhaus. The sweetness from the raisin flavor is quite unique and something I have never experienced before with ice cream. The sour cream portion added density and tartness to the pint, while the pie crust mixins brought the “pie” replication full swing. I can’t rave about this one enough, as I was definitely a fan of it. Don’t pass on this ice cream next time. B+I.C.E.D.

SO Delicious Cookie & Cream Almond Milk
Had high hopes for this flavor because I loved C&C ice cream back when I still ate dairy, but it really did not impress me at all.
The texture was soft enough and even slightly creamy despite being almond-based, but there was something off about the base flavor... initial profile is very artificial, but eventually the cookie bits did mellow out the weird 'bite' that I got from the sub-par base and it felt a bit more true-to-form after you let it desolve.
Honestly if it were just a plain base pint, I might have to chuck it because it really didn't taste good, but the cookie pieces saved it from being a total loss.
Not sure why it was off like that considering I've had other almond-based ice creams before from this brand and was never surprised, but this just didn't do well at all.
I'd give it a C- Thank goodness for the cookie pieces."When I die, I hope it's early in the morning so I don't have to go to work that day for no reason"

Humphry Slocombe Tahitian Vanilla
There isn’t much to say about this one as most of you know what vanilla bean tastes like.
I had a chance to scoop this while out in San Francisco and it was a little better fresh than when shipped in a pint. However, it is still a great ice cream. It is dense, creamy and definitely one of the best vanilla bean ice creams I’ve ever scooped.
Since Thanksgiving was coming up, I knew I would have leftover pie. Therefore, you know exactly why I saved this pint.

Little g's pecan pie is pretty delicious. I haven't gotten any crust so far, but there's a lot of pecan filling.
I got some of King's storebrand gelato, sea salt cookie crunch. Not bad, for $3/pint (sale price) will try again but get a different flavor. Only real complaint was that it could have been sweeter, but the texture/consistency were good.You can't help the hopeless.

Placed an order from Graeters yesterday to be here Tuesday. Went with:
SALTED CARAMEL CHOCOLATE CHIP
BOURBON PECAN CHOCOLATE CHIP
SEASONAL PUMPKIN
SEASONAL CINNAMON
SEASONAL PEPPERMINT STICK
SEASONAL EGGNOG
BLACK CHERRY CHOCOLATE CHIP
ORIGINAL SALTED CARAMEL
BLACK RASPBERRY CHOCOLATE CHIP
COOKIE DOUGH CHOCOLATE CHIP
MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP
COCONUT CHOCOLATE CHIP
Mostly new items I didn't get my last order plus the seasonals. Only ones I am getting again are Cookie Dough Chocolate Chip, Original Salted Caramel and Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip. Now before you start with the "what no Buckeye Chocolate Chip or Cheese Crown" I liked them enough and had 2 Cheese Crowns last time but wanted to try a bunch of new items and the ones I got again were my favorite of my last order.
Now to eventually move onto trying other top tier brands out there eventually.

Graeter’s Peach
There isn’t much to say about this one, and I finally got around to scooping it since picking it up a couple of months ago. I decided to give this a shot despite not being the biggest fan of fruity ice creams.
The base is sweet and tastes exactly like a ripe peach. It is sugary and does not contain a bit of tartness to it.
Graeter’s threw in chunks of peaches as mixins for this pint. They are fairly large in size and scattered throughout. I understand it is hard to keep fruit pieces soft in ice cream, and this is no different. The chunks are icy on the outside, but fairly chewy and soft on the inside, especially if you let them sit in your mouth for a second before biting into them.
Overall, this is a very generic pint for Graeter’s. I feel they were just trying to release a limited edition summer ice cream. They are known for the chocolate chunks and this is a flavor that doesn’t call for them so you shouldn’t expect much. This one isn’t worth your time unless you are just a fan of peach ice creams.

Came across the review of a fella raving about S&S's Mint on Insta, but the individual is a self-described mint "fanatic" so skepticism was applied.
For the fruitcake one tho, S&S described the base of this year's as "salty and buttery"; however, your review last year didn't mention the base being of the savory type. Do you recall it being so?

Little G's Peanut Butter Brittle & Salted Fudge was just fantastic. The balance of sweet and salty was just right. The mixins were big yet easy to chew, and it's all gone.
Will definitely rescoop in the future.You can't help the hopeless.
