Ample Hills No Sleep Till Pumpkin
Grade: B+

http://theicecreaminformant.freeforu...ep-til-pumpkin

Combine a coffee lover ice cream base with basic bitch tendencies (pumpkin) ooey gooey butter cake and its a phenomenal combination. Ample Hills is very good with the consistency of the mix-ins from top to bottom, and the ice cream is super premium. This flavor does temper quick like the other coffee Flavor (Eye Opener) which gives it a slight downgrade. The amount of ooey gooey pumpkin buttercake was loaded from top to bottom like the light side. Nearly every single bite is packed with thick, chewy, and delicious pumpkin flavored cake pieces. Truly a very good pint especially for those who love coffee, pumpkin, and buttercake.

What I would give to trade in my lactose intolerance as well as my jacked up response to flour and wheat!!! Ice cream and donuts foremost reasons why!!

I love both as much or more than the next guy hands down........but the god awful aftermath just never makes it worth it unless I can sleep immediately after and veg for hours.

Bob I will live through you on this aspect!

Lake Effect Pumpkin Gingersnap
Grade B+:
http://theicecreaminformant.freeforu...kin-gingersnap

If you were to ask me ranking the bases alone this is right up there with Handel's and Coldstone Pumpkin Cheesecake. Talenti falls a bit behind, and Turkey Hill came in last. The reason why Turkey Hill is so damn good is the graham cracker swirl could be one of the best swirls ever made in a seasonal ice cream. Something Talenti and Coldstone lack being pure bases. If you ask me Lake Effect would be a complete A with a graham cracker or marshmallow swirl. With just the cookies alone it is still a high quality grade. I really have no complains with how good the base is, and how many cookies there are, but I think there is a missing element that could make this just that much better.

Grade: B+

Salt & Straw Oregon Honeyed Rocky Road
http://theicecreaminformant.freeforu...-honeyed-rocky

Salt and Straw struck gold with this pint. Not only is the chocolate base on point, the swirl took this pint over the top. I wish there was more consistency with the candied hazelnuts, but beggars can't be choosers. I would highly suggest this pint if they offer it again next year as I was very pleased from first bite to last. There is not too much bad I can say about this pint.

Salt & Straw Cocanu’s Coffee & Craque
http://theicecreaminformant.freeforu...-coffee-craque

Overall the base alone was worth the scoop. The added cocoa nibs had fantastic chocolate flavor that melted in my mouth, but did not pack the candied aspect I was looking for. Would i repurchase this pint? Probably not, but I would like to see Salt and Straw make more Coffee based flavors.

Grade: C+
