25/4/2020. Bottle from Two Brews, Colchester. Bought this a couple of years ago, it’s from the 2009 harvest. Quite similar to the 2014 I’d had before but with lots of rich baked apple, baked apple skin, brown sugar and caramel. Otherwise quite similar and still very delicious. 9394-18 4.3. 24/6/2019. Bottle sample from the 2014 harvest courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed. Pours clear amber gold with no head. Aroma of intensely rich apples, golden syrup, twig, vanilla, biscuit and apple strudel. Medium sweetness and light to moderate tartness. Full body, oily sticky texture, very soft carbonation. Rich, alcoholic, warming apple pie finish. Delicious. 8493-18 4.2

Sampled from bottle shared by SinH4 @ hotelroom tasting after Borefts 2018 Day 1. Clear amber color. Very intense rich apple flavor, heavy, clearly detectable high ABV without becoming annoying though. Apple peel. Some sugry notes. Slight tart as well. Decent.
