Commercial Description:
This unique product is oak aged in small batches in much the same way cider was made during Colonial times. This handcrafted process creates a extremely smooth product with a hint of vanilla flavor.

Pours amber with a thin ring of bubbles. Smells of tarte apples. Taste is of tarte apples and apple juice.

Copper colored, with aroma of apples and some red wine. I do taste the oak barrel flavor somewhat, and I like this cider.

12 oz bottle. Dark amber, looks like unfiltered juice or dark cream soda, you know the kind with caramel color. Fresh juicy flavor, but a bit cheap-tasting, sweet and simple, with a hint of citrusy tang in the finish, decent body. Well above average for a commercial cider, though I’m not really missing this now-retired alcoholic soda. Thanks so much to Flipbrewer for his cross-country trade of this rarity back to its home state!

Mildly tart aroma offers notes of green apples and lemons. Clear brown body. Apple flavour is quite sweet up front with some tart citrus in the back end but wood aging is unfortunately not apparent. Light body is fairly simple. Sampled on the PA trip 2005.

(12oz bottle) I cannot find this on the Woodchuck website so I am guessing that they no longer make this? Pours the darkest cider I've every laid my eyes on - a beautiful bronze. Every so slight carbonation. Nose is of a port mixed with apples; its rather euphoric. The flavour does consist of a red wine tang. Slight cheap, flat cola finish. Very good and complex of the ciders I'm sampled...

Pours a dark copper color. Aroma of apples, feels a bit like vinegar. Flavor of apples, again it resembles vinegar. Liquorous texture.

I did not taste the vanilla at all when I had this. Very clean and crisp, very sweet.

Acetic nose and flavor. Moderately sweet. Good non-lingering palate and mouthfeel. Dings on appearance for the green bottle and the twist-off.
