375ml bottle from Scrattings. 10%. Batch #2014NS101. Amber brown colour with a reddish tinge, afew bubbles on top and apple strudel pastry aroma. Taste is sweet, fruity apple, apple pie, syrupy, with concentrated dried fruits, vanilla, some woody barrel spicy boozy notes and drying earthy tannins. Oily mouthfeel, full bodied, low carbonation, dry finish with lots of residual sweetness. Very sippable

Tasting at Erik’s; corked bottle; sugar at harvest 34 Brix, residual sugar 15% by weight
Blond colour. Sweet, very good apple juice, the alcohol is a bit too evident, final astringency, touch of vanilla.
Not complex, but a good drink.

Golden colour. Not really getting a lot of legs on this. On the nose, brown sugar, and a fair bit of apple. Lots of apple, with a light, vibrant body.

Bottle pour, picked up at The Garden Path, Burlington. Perhaps my first taste of an American Ice Cider? First barrel aged Ice Cider as well? If so, it's a good start. Shiny copper pour, clean. I agree with Matt, in that it's not as dense as others in the cider substyle, but it remains an incredible cider. Drinks really nice. Perfect taste for the season.

Tasting at Oakes' Manor; corked bottle
Amber colour, bright. Lovely character of stewed apples and caramel, the aroma is intriguing, the flavour is less complex; balanced acidity; a bit short in the final; there is some astringency, and strong alcohol too.
Excellent.
