Commercial Description:
Woodchuck Draft Cider® Oak Aged is a perfect culmination of Premium French and Traditional American Oak, giving the cider great complexity and broad characteristics that neither style could produce on its own. Handcrafted using a centuries old technique, this cider has tremendous depth; offering a unique taste and special aroma not found in any other American hard cider. Starting with an attractive oak taste and finishing with a touch of vanilla, Woodchuck Oak Aged pairs effortlessly with holiday dishes.

Nice-looking amber pour. Fresh, strong aroma of herbs and malt (strangely enough). This is a very flavorful cider. The oak is subtle and adds a little woody backbone to the lightly sweet cider. This is one of the best things I’ve had from Woodchuck, which is one of the best of the big American cideries.

Bottle at The Rotten Apple. What an interesting and pleasant cider! Very nice cinnamon, faint wood notes, and apple that was not as tart as expected. Vanilla flavors nicely smoothed out and complimented the other flavors. An excellent Fall cider.

Bottle I’d been seeking for a while and finally got my hands on courtesy of daknole. Thanks Dak! Pours a clear cognac brown with a small white head. Light wine and oak, a touch of acidity and some very light vinegar and barrel notes. Velvety mouthfeel, a bit sweet, but featuring a big caramel apple flavor. Finishes with some lingering sweetness.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. The cider pours brown with touches of red and almost no head all, but what there is is pretty white and bubbles burst forth through the top. The aroma is sour, but sweet and musty, almost dirty-sock-like. The taste is sour apple big at the front followed by a smooth delivery of red apple, vanilla, cream, and slight woodiness. The mouthfeel is of course super high carbonation, but it’s still nice and goes down easy.

Bottle pours a clear golden coppr color with an extremely thin white head. Fairly sweet aroma of apples and vanilla with a touch of musty woodiness and charcoal. The flavor is quite similar however the oak does begin to come through more in the aftertaste. Slightly dry mouthfeel with a bit of tartness in the finish. I’m not a big fan of ciders, but this isn’t that bad altough I was hoping for the oak notes to stand out more, oh well.

Not a bad flavor, kind of dry. It had a fruity aroma and taste. Very different from the other hard ciders.
