Bottle: Poured a well carbonated dark golden color cider. Aroma of funky apple notes with light residual sugar and quite a bit of smoke is unique. Taste is dominated by loads of smoked apple notes with light residual sugar notes and funky notes are also discernible. Body is full enough for style with great carbonation. Glad I was able to try this unique cider which was quite different from the norm but also very enjoyable.

Bottled. Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is sweet apples, some quite ripe apple like sweetness, mild sugary notes as well as some yeasty and semispicy notes. Flavour is quite similar, and also has a quite nice earthy and spicy touch to it with mild vanillla in the finish as well. Quite wellbodied, which gives the impression of a higher abv. Still easy to drink, and also works as a sipper.

(Bottle, 0.75 l, at laiti’s, 20150613, thanks) The cider poured pale golden and hazy. Its head was small and white. Aroma had apples, wood and tartness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were apples, sweetness, wood and tarntess. Aftertaste had apples. A balanced and tasty cider.

Récolte 2012, Passage en fût 2013. PASSÉ SIX MOIS EN FÛT DE CALVADOS
Aroma has apple peel, sweet apples, flour and green apples. Flavour is slightly sweet with apple peel, floury apples, some green apple vibes. Also mild milky notes. Feels leathery both in nose and mouth. Nicely balanced, could be less floury though.
