Indulgent, sweetly satisfying cider. Burnt umber in colour, dark, bittersweet, warming Libertine is a rich, tannic cider with unusual depth. Satisfying, exotic and grown up (but a bit on the fringes)....wild, radical, brooding and delicious.

500ml bottle. Clear amber-gold, small brief white head, circular bubbles. Funky barnyard and fruity apples aroma. Taste is funky, fruity, tangy, touch of cider vinegar. Tasty.

Baginabox at the Fell Bar, Penrith. Dark amber - one of the darkest ciders I've seen. Baked apple, caramel apple, toffee apple; basically everything dark sugar and apple. There's some nice funky tartness in the background and some woodiness. It's a good'un.

Bottle from Booths Supermarket, Clitheroe. Golden with a glow. Lesser in aroma but certainly bitter-sweet with a more stated apple here. Slightly dry texture.

Bottle from House Of Trembling Madness. Clear deep golden body. Steady carbonation. Aroma of peat and sweet red apple. Flavour of cider vinegar sharpness and a tart bitter lemon finish. Thin body with a slick texture. Light fizz. Sharp and boozy.
