Yes. Which is why he got involved in this. Hoping to get some information on the process then pull out before shipping. Then the next day they finally decided to ship, or something like that, so he got stuck.

Our first few batches were not backsweetened. They were a bit dry but I still love the flavor. But the backsweetening is actually a fun bit of alchemy itself. Some people think it is heresy for purity reasons, and that is a-okay, but to the worries some have that it is unsafe, that can be mitigated. We actually pasteurize, so it is no bottle bomb issue.
The maple is really good. Maple and vanilla are 2 of my favorite flavors, but my wife talked me into the butterscotch extract and it actually turned a corner. Like, it leveled it up way further than I expected.
The caramelization idea is interesting. Maybe we should experiment.
