Bottle thanks a ton to Clownisseur! Pours clear golden, small white fizzy head as expected, no lacing. Aroma is apple, a bit of brandy, some funk, mushroom. Flavor has lots of apple goodness along with some vinous barrel notes and an ever-present note of funky mushrooms. Light sweet with a dry finish. Light body. This is my second BA cider, and the second time I have gotten the (for me) highly undesirable mushroom notes from it. I guess funk and apples don’t mix in my palate.

750ml bottle 7.5% from TheDrinkShop.com. 2011 harvest. 0713. Pours a sparkling bright golden colour with a shortlived fizzy white foam head. Nice & complex aroma with apple, wood, honey, funk, syrup, vanilla, oak. Taste is well balanced and with depth, sweetish tangy apple, woody oak, barnyard funk, vanilla, fruit & honey, bittersweet, sour & dry tannins. Smooth and slightly oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft to medium carbonation, dry oaky finish. Very drinkable, lovely stuff.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy opaque yellow with a medium quickly-dissipating white head - loads of bubbles. Aroma is very complex, full of oak, wood, apples, almost some horse blanket, and some lovely residual sugars. Flavour is identical, with loads of apples, oak, some funkiness, and great residual sugars. Finishes on notes of oak, funk and sweetness. Loads of carbonation, but the intensity fits well, bringing out the complexity to its full potential. Most wonderful.

Pours slightly hazy dark golden color with white head. Aromas of apples, oak, brandy and some dank earthiness. Sweet apple and brandy flavors with some tartness and oak. Light to medium body with lively carbonation. Very nice.

Bottle bought @ Systembolaget. Pours tiny hazy sparkling deep golden with a big fizzy goldenish white head that quickly dissipates without leaving any trace on the glass. Smell is Fruity and funky with ripe and tart apples, barnyard, dry soil, lemon juice, leather, moist wood, codwebs, mineal water, horse blanket and lemon zest. Taste is sweet, sour, fruity and tiny funky with a perfect mix of sweet and sour ripe apples, moist wood, dry soil, leather, hay, apple jam and hints of barnyard. Mouthfeel is crisp, dry, champagne-like, slightly tart and light to medium bodied. Finish is tiny sweet, slightly sour, fruity and tiny funky with ripe apples, moist wood, hay, barnyard, leather, apple jam and hints of lemon juice and damp cellar. Man, oh man, oh man! The nose is almost 3 Fonteinen funk. The taste is incredibly rich and fruity. great cider! --- Beer merged from original tick of Cidre Dupont Réserve on 06 Feb 2014 at 19:21 - Score: 8

Very unique bottle shared by Madvike at the GTMW13 ticket line. A great cider, Zesty apple tartness. Really has a lot of depth. The oak is really mellow, but adds an awesome candy sweetness. Wow. Really grows on me the more I sip it; One the best ciders I’ve had. Wow.
