Vintage-y bottle from their cider club. Couple weeks in the fridge to settle. Mojito glass @home. Strong pour, good mousse. Hazy honey gold. Smell is a rich mix of herbal & twangy, aerosol bittersweet, very plum at the end. Cherry + plum, dark cake. Semi-sweet, very sharp apple, lingering cherry skin, some old wood, soda water, yeasty cherry finish, slight menthol, bitter popsicle stick finish. Deep. Suddy, acidic, cherry-lime sweet, boozy-ish. Very good. Borderline great. Just needs a cohort to blend with.
