Tasting at Matt's, corked bottle
Beautiful, luminous, copper colour. Strong smell of spices, mulled wine. Good body strength, moderately sweet; stewed apples, spices, quite strong acidity, and also quite evident astringency; the alcohol is quite evident too.

Very tall 500ml @ Matt's new place. Appearance: clear copper with no head. Aroma: sweet concentrated apples, some apple seeds, and a bit of spice. Taste: along the same lines, a bit more acidic than Ice Ciders usually. Overall: good one.

500mL bottle, pours a clear gold bronze, no head. Aroma is rich, with lots of winter spices, stewed apples, and toffee apple. Flavour tastes less spicy than the nose suggested, with stewed apples, some tartness, light toffee, and brown sugar. Moderately tart, moderately sweet, lightly spicy. The spiced aspect works pretty well, though I'd still prefer this without the spices. More tart than the average ice cider. Good, but far from my favourite of the style.

Amber. Lots of cinnamon, and nutmeg on the aroma. Sugary, but quite a bit of acidity to it as well. The spices are balanced, fairly appley. raisiny. This is quite good.

Bottle. Deep amber color with no head. Aroma is bergamotte, red apples, intense but nicely integrated. Taste is Brännlands style sweetness and acidity, beautiful bergamotte in there, incredible balance. Thick oily mouthfeel, flat. Very good stuff, quite a bit different!
