Bottle from Bristol Cider Shop as "Broome Farm Headless Man". Golden in colour with a few bubbles. Slightly sour crab apple fruit, with some creamy oak and sickly vanilla. Flavour was more pleasant, with some medium dry fruit, a touch of syrup and a slightly prickly medium finish with some warming rum and more vanilla. Not for me.

Bottle form Bristol Cider Shop. Pale gold in colour and flat. As Fin notes, this was a country mile away from being medium dry. Aroma of sweet fruit and icing sugar. Light mouth feel, with plenty more sugar, a trace of woodiness and spice, followed by a honeyed, medium finish. Too sweet for me.
