Ole Smoky, you have been gone from these pages for too long. There has been so much seltzer here that I thought I might have to change the name of the blog to BFBCSeltzer. Finally, the sweet cream with 17.5% ABV has come to remind me that I am able to drink moonshine in varieties that do not make me feel like I'm sipping on gasoline or lighter fluid. Instead, I am going to try... snickerdoodle? Well, it might be my birthday, as I really love those cookies, so you have a challenge in front of you.
She pours like a cream - nothing to see here. The aroma drips with alcohol, but it does not remind me of a snickerdoodle. Mind you, it's sweet, and it has some spice to it, but that's not cinnamon on top, and that isn't a delicious snickerdoodle underneath it. I don't know what it is - and it may be very good - but this isn't hitting my nosebuds like a snickerdoodle.
First sip is cookie-adjacent, but the alcohol is covering a bit, and the snickerdoodle meat just isn't here. In fact this has pretty much nothing that would remind me of a snickerdoodle. Wait. Maybe. Maybe if I squint my eyes and think back to the worst store-brand, pre-packaged cookies that said that they were snickerdoodle... nope. No, even those didn't taste like this. Maybe this is more in line with a butter cookie or the like.
Continued sipping reveals little else. It still doesn't have that sprinkle of cinnamon or the delicious, soft texture of a snickerdoodle. I suppose, if I were to be charitable, I would say that this might be a Best Value snickerdoodle that has been at the back of the shelf too long, so it has little in common with a real snickerdoodle, but it still has sugar and some of the necessary ingredients to be cookie. Maybe.
Bottom Line: Not tip-top. Still, a back-shelf cookie is a cookie.
2.5/5
