2006 vintage.
Quite dark, looks like bourbon. Nice tart apple aroma. Light honey, also quite floral. Mouthfeel is a tad thin, and the finish is a little tart and not as sweet as expected.

Pours clear, gold. Scent is intense, juicy applesauce. Much sugar, mildly acidic (malic) touch. Taste is full, intense, sweet, applesauce. Fairly simple - but just as enjoyable nevertheless. perhaps not the most unique or chase-worthy of ice ciders, but always nice to drink.

375ml bottle via trade with Asheft, thanks Alex, split in two with my uncle. 2008 Harvest. Couleur amber, caramel, le tout offrant un léger filament huileux sur les rebords du verre. Arôme est assez classique dans la lignée cidre de glace avec pas mal de belles effluves de pommes et un généreux bouquet caramélisé de pommes pressées. Palais met en valeur le profil des pommes alernant sur un léger résineux et une douceur de sucre résiduel caramel. Le tout est très frais, parfait en dessert avec un quasi 11% de volume passant sans problème. Petite pointe acerbe parvient tout de meme à percer en fin de bouche offrant ce cacractère de pomme grinçant un peu aux dents. Cidre parfait mettant bien en valeur des variétés canadiennes.

375mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a clear golden. Nose is decadent, with notes of treacle toffee, candied apple and high sweetness. Flavour follows accordingly, with treacle toffee and candied apple upfront. Fairly high residual sweetness, but fairly moderate for an ice cider. Complex and decadent. An excellent by-the-books ice cider.
