Bottle at EBF ... One of the Mikkeller gang brougth this... And my thanks to one and all for allowing me to sneak in and try this... This could well be my Highlight of the Festival Pale Pale Pale yellow .. stunningly sweet apple nose ... "Bramly apple pie just like Mummy used to make"... Oh the flavour in intense... sweet insane apples ....

Bottle that the Mikkeller gang brought along to share, cheers for invitng me over Henrikb Really stcky and sweet but quite wonderful. Very good tang its so concentrated makes you feel like it should be watered down. Lovely fresh sliced apples, quite incredible and so full flavoured, feel very fortunate to have this and the Dark Lord right after each other.

2005 Vintage 375ml via in person trade with glougoburb. Thanks Dany, shared with my girlfriend Cyn and my friend Steve who loves cider and recently got his masters. Pour golden orange with no head. Nose is sweet and very nice with lots of flavor. Taste is sweet, with a ridiculous amount of apple flavor and overall a wonderful full flavored experience thats slightly boozy but all in all not compared to the alcohol it acutally has. Excellent.

Golden. Big candied apple pie nose with the spices. Medium-full bodied, delectable apple flavor meshing with the alcohol warmth, spices, Starts sweet with balancing apple tartness. Just fantastic.

bottle- enjoyed with wife for wedding anniversary. extremely clear, with some very fine particulate matter that you can see when you hold the cider up to the light. very fine carbonation that fades quickly. apple aroma hits immediately and welcome you in. quite something- very cloyingly sweet, apple candy flavor. Alcohol really no where to be seen due to residual sweetness...only shows its face as cider warms to near room temp. Very small bottle, very expensive, and very tasty. A recommendation for a special occassion.

375mL bottle from the LCBO (I know? Right?!?). So for $29.95 this had better not disappoint, and it doesn’t. However it still has give me one hell of a fun and wild and messy time. So apparently I’m terrible at removing corks that don’t stick out of the bottle at all. Damn. Anyways, this deep gold liquid decants nicely into my snifter, and DAMN check out those legs! Sexy. Incredibly moderate carbonation also, which kind of surprised me. Aroma is like getting punched in the face by some enraged apple-picking labourer with a sack of freshly picked apples, but for some reason you love it? The flavour is like that again, but even harder. Starts out unbelievably sweet, like some sort of apple orgy in your mouth, and then to balance the whole show out you’re hit with some really nice sour tartness. Sour green apples, maybe a hint of apple crumble, but mainly just a ridiculous amount of apple goodness. Damn, this stuff is intense, and delicious. Very nice drinking experience, and apparently I have to finish the whole thing now because I sort of destroyed the cork. The alcohol is very well hidden in amidst the abundant flavour. Having lived in Quebec for 5 years as a kid, I can say that if the Quebecois winer had a flavour, this would be it. No matter how bizarre that sounds you know it’s true.

Thanks to iowaherkeye for bringing this bottle to his ’farewell to Iowa’ tasting. Very inviting aroma of buttery caramel, apple, and a splash of raw, but not unpleasant, alcohol. Sweet with a slick, oily mouth feel and a nice warming alcohol effect. Tasted of apple pie, sweet cream, caramel apple, buttered corn bread, and a splash of apple juice. Wow, I can’t wait to pick up a couple six bottles of this stuff.

thanks goes out to iowaherkeye for this one. Amber pour with a thin white head. Huge apple and strawberry jam aroma. Flavor was more sweet apple with just a bit of tartness that doesn’t come close to balancing how sweet this is. Very nice in small doses.
