Cute 500ml bottle from an open house cider event in BK last year. Duvel glass @ home. Sparkling, golden, oily, clear body. Smells of sharp, tannic ice cider, faint butter & whiskey. Taste is softer. Plush, bittersweet, macerated apples, with a corn &/or rum-like sweetness. Acidic like cola & well carbonated. More fizzy than anticipated, it's somewhat impressive for near 12%. Still slick, deceptively boozy & with a buttery chardonnay-like finish. It lacks a little bite on the end, it lacks curiosity, but still manages to drink well throughout. This isn't Dupont or Droiun, but it's appropriately different & interesting.
