"10/10 no notes - my favorite so far! It’s a perfect blend of coffee and caramel and I love the chocolate mixed throughout. Brown Eyed Girl
It tasted just like a piña colada. I almost left the pint out to melt it so I could drink it like a normal piña colada" Piña colada
"Nicely unusual" Drop it Like it's Hot Fudge
