Only a small taste unfortunately from a 5 cl. bottle. Very cool packaging. Clear golden. Taste is quite sweet, apples, reminiscent of a white desert wine, white grapes and honey, more sweet apples. Alcohol is kept in place. Less heavy body than expected. Very nice but expected more complexity to be honest.

2009 Vintage. 375mL bottle, pours a flat clear golden / copper. Very aromatic with intense notes of concentrated apple, honey and a little treacle. Flavour is very intense and rich with incredible depth - sweet concentrated apples, some fresh pure honey nectar, a touch of vanilla and a treacly character. There's a sort of liqueur quality, but the alcohol isn't really that prominent. So much depth and flavour to this one. The sweetness is intense but not cloying in any way. Remarkable stuff.

Harvest 2010
Clear golden colour. Aroma of apple, white wine, light young cheese. Sweet apple flavour, white wine, sweet muscat, light sour touch. Finish apple, muscat, light sour, lingering sweet.
Really nice brew. Reminds of a nice dessert wine.
(from 5cL bottle @ home, obtained at the Brussels Xmas market)

Bottled@vPBFII. Golden colour, no head. Aroma is very sweet apples, some green apples and that’s about it. Flavour is sweet green apples, mild nectar and very beautifully balanced. Hides the abv very well.

37,5 cl bottle (12,5%) @ wPBF as ”Pinnacle Ice Apple Wine”
Aroma has moldy cellar notes and some apples. Flavour is rather sweet and very intensive with lots and lots of apples – feels like an apple juice concentrate. Also some tartness and nicely warming alcohol. Leathery finish. My first ice cider. Nice.
The cidery told me that this is sold in Europe with that name due to the country regulations. ABV varies between 11% and 12.5%

Big thanks to sebletitje for sharing this with me. The bottle pours a nice deep yet water clear to some extent gold and leaves behind some decent legginess. The aroma offers up sweet red apples, a sugar smell and apple juice soaked mildly earthy apple skins. The taste delivers the expected rich yummy flavors where I get deep smooth sweet green apple sweetness and green apple tartness with a dash of earthiness. It digs into more rich apple sweetness for a moment before increasing green apple like tartness moves into a dry sensation at the finish. Yum! This entertains a lovely play between rich sweetness and tannin apple skin like tartness.

5cl bottle in a nice tin box bought at the Brussels xmas market. Doré claire rendant ce côté jus de pomme clarifié, le tout laisse un filament doré sur les rebords du verre. Arôme est évidement de pomme avec un bouquet sucré rappelant le sucre concentré mais aussi de ce dessert de pomme au four. Garde aussi ce côté peau de pomme verte qui ressort super bien au-delà des effluves de sucré. Palais est ici, également savoureux. Pomme pressée avec un sucré concentré naturel tirant vers le caramélisé. e note toujours ce côté peau de pomme qui rend qcq notes de tanin qui sont suivis de suite par un onctueux sucré. Ce dernier ne domine en rien le cidre mais accompagne un profil gardant fidèlement la complexité des pommes. Le tout offre un fini râpeux (voire finement épicé) sur la langue mettant ici encore la présence des tanins à l’honneur.

50 ml bottle bought in brussels ( christmas market ) pours like applejuice, maybe a bit thicker. scent in the bottle is pure apple. after pouring in my BBF 2012 tasting glass, the smell of alcohol is more prominant. taste is very nice. thick aple juice, some alcohol ( warmth ) aftertaste is apples again.as this is my first ice cider ( second cider but the first was half beer half cider) i wont be able to say wether this is better than others or not. i do am able to say i like this, but not as much as a good imperial stout.
