Commercial Description:
This is America's first true black hard cider. It's rich flavor is derived from a select blend of apples and special oak aging which creates a mellow, rounded character without excessive sweetness.

Why is this brew rated so low it great stuff.Nice amber color,nearly no head,strong apple aroma.Sweet/sour apple taste that is quite pleasant but i fear will lead to some hard core after effects as many of my fellow raters have posted.Over all i don't think this brew is rated very well i think it deserves a higher place.Hard to say what is the best cider since i'm not an aficciando(spelling problem) but i know what i like and this is a pretty decent cider and worth a decent rate.

as ciders go this is definitly one of the more palatable ones. Not too sweet for once!

If you are looking to get a little drunk on cider, hit this one up. It’s cheap and it will do the job. Be weary of the apple flavored hangover.

Pours a deep ruby/mahogany with a slight fizz, but no head whatsoever. Apple aroma with light vinegar notes. Flavor is crisp apple tartness with a kiss of cherry and a drop of honey. No "wooden" notes... the only evidence of barrel-aging is in its smoothness - it holds light astringence, but its sourness isn’t upsetting.

Pours a amber color. Aromas wine with tart apples. Flavor is oakish red wine and tart apples.

Reasonable cider, though still too sweet.
