200mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden. Aroma is very hot, with lots of liqueur (brandy especially), followed by burnt caramel, toffee and stewed red apples. Flavour is quite hot, with lots of brandy-like liqueur, dried fruits (raisins especially), alcohol and caramel. Complex and deep, despite being hot. Relatively low sweetness for this type of infused ice cider. Excellent stuff, though still not at the level of Neige Noir.

Corked bottle
Bright sun-light color. Nice aroma of walnuts, hint of vanilla, maple; not much alcohol as the regular Cidre Apéritif. Nice sugary flavor, maple and hazelnut tones, quite some warming alcohol, and tiny astringency in the final.
Excellent.

Golden colour, no head. The aroma is full of cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sugary, rich mapley apple, toffee, light alcohol...lots of complexity here. Woody notes, lots of sugar...sugars coat your mouth. Sweet and with a touch of alcohol.

Bottle - Lots of cooked Apple and sweetness. Clear gold. Cooked Apple and a bit of a boozy sweetness. Much lighter than the regular and tastier.
