<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Despite having bourbon in its name, there\u2019s no alcohol in Ben & Jerry\u2019s Urban Bourbon Ice Cream. That\u2019s a good thing because if it did and parents unknowingly fed their children the ice cream, I imagine some of the kids will become emotional drunks and start shouting things like \u201cWhy don\u2019t you love me, dad?\u201d or \u201cI love you, Dora the Explorer!\u201d<\/p>\n
Some of you might think not having alcohol in Urban Bourbon takes the fun out of the flavor, but there\u2019s still a lot of fun to be had. The new Ben & Jerry\u2019s concoction has burnt caramel ice cream with almonds, fudge flakes, and bourbon caramel swirls. <\/p>\n
See. Fun.<\/p>\n
The bourbon caramel swirl was the best part of the pint and I enjoyed it so much that, even though I don\u2019t drink, I\u2019d drink it if it had alcohol. Now I\u2019m not writing this to make me sound sophisticated, but I thought the bourbon had a nice woodsy flavor and it paired marvelously with the gooey caramel. Now if you\u2019ll excuse me, I must tend to my collection of exotic birds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Speaking of great pairings, the swirl goes well with the burnt caramel ice cream. Although, I have to admit I\u2019m not sure I taste the ice cream\u2019s burntness. Instead, it had a normal caramel flavor that was almost too mild. Although that’s good because if it had a strong caramel flavor, it combined with the caramel in the swirl would’ve overwhelmed the bourbon flavor. <\/p>\n
The almond slivers added nothing flavor-wise. They had a coconut-like texture, which was kind of a turnoff for me. But, fortunately, my pint didn’t have a lot of them. However, there were A LOT of fudge flakes. Perhaps too many. At first, they were fine. But at a point I felt they got between me and my favorite ingredient. In the end, I shoving them to the side just so I could be alone with the not-burnt caramel ice cream and swirl.<\/p>\n
While I mostly enjoyed the ice cream, I could understand how the bourbon caramel swirl’s slight astringent taste might turn off some. If that happens, I\u2019ll gladly take yours from you because my pint didn\u2019t have enough of them. This made me as angry as a bar patron who got cut off by the bartender because they\u2019re so drunk that they\u2019re yelling things like “Why don’t you love me, dad?” <\/p>\n
Of course, your pints may vary. But if it doesn’t, feel free to yell, “Why don’t you love me, Ben & Jerry’s?”<\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> The bourbon caramel swirl. The combination of burnt caramel ice cream and bourbon caramel swirl. The mild flavor of the ice cream not getting in the way of the swirl. Using “woodsy” in a review. Dora the Explorer.
\nCons:<\/b> Don’t taste the burnt part of the burnt caramel ice cream. My pint didn’t have a lot of the swirl (your pint may vary). Perhaps too many fudge flakes in my pint. Children accidentally consuming alcohol. Super loud super drunks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
