Made by adding rosehips to a wild fermented cider that had been aging in oak barrels for over a year. To finish it we fortified with local honey spirits. The result is a smooth "ice wine" style cider with subtle oak and nuanced rosehip. Sherry-esque, with a rosehip sweetness, and subtle oak. Enjoy at room temperature before or after dinner, or with dessert.

Caramelly brown body, translucent. Smells of sweet rosehip and good oak, reminiscent of sarsaparilla in fact. Taste is cola like bourbon hints, subdued and sweet but working well. Mouthfeel is a little thin and it could be bolder. Still a very nice experiment, excellent flavour.
