375ml bottle. 2012 vintage. (11.2% ABV) Pours a clear copper with a thin, fizzy, short lived, white head that fully dissipates. Sweet aroma of caramelized red apple, apple skins, oak and funky yeast. Sweet fruity flavour of caramelized red apple, cinnamon, vanilla, oak and funky yeast in a sweet, warming booze finish. Full body with a sticky, syrupy texture and soft carbonation. Nice complexity. Very enjoyable. A great dessert sipper.
gave a cheers!

Power tasting at Phill's, bottle; 11.2% ABV
Beautiful golden colour, bright, clean. The aroma is just a notch below the top Ice Ciders, the flavour is very rich, still not the top; there's quite some alcohol, and a light dusty smell; stewed apples flavour, caramelized pineapple, good level of acidity, and mild astringency. Overall it's very good.

375mL bottle, pours clear a clear copper golden, no head. Nose is full of stewed apples, treacle toffee, and brown sugar. Flavour is wonderfully decadent, with lots of stewed apples, treacle toffee, some apple core, gentle acidity, and a little molasses. There's even a little tartness in there. Not at the level of the top Quebec ice ciders, but this is really well-done.
