Bottle at home. So apprently this cider was aged in bourbon stouts, that previously had held a Moersleutel stout, lets see. Aroma is muted, showing some apples and sulphur, a hint of liquor maaaaybe, there’s definitely some deeper notes in there like oak or maybe bourbon, but it might just be me knowing. Taste is apples upfront, tart and jammy, in the middle taste there’s definitely some bourbon/wood now, not bad, but in the finish it combines weird with the acidity of the fruit. I wonder if this is backsweetened, as it definitely feels like it hehe. Not tragic, but not too sophisticated either.

(Draught at Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 17 Feb 2024) Hazy golden colour with brief head. Fruity nose with apples, oak wood and a touch of glue. Fruity, tart taste with notes of green apples, oak wood, grass, bourbon, vanilla and a touch of glue. Generous acidity. More than medium body, quite dry. Lots of bourbon wood. A bit of an acquired taste, but fresh and tart. Nice one.

On tap at Proeflokaal Arendsnest, pours a hazy full golden with almost no head. Aroma has crisp apple skins and a hint of oak. Flavour has plenty of bourbon, acidic apple skins, and a touch of wildness. Acidic, lots of apple skins, and barrels. Not the most refined, but has some depth. Decent.
