My 900th rating shared with ilovedarkbeer. Completely worth the $60+ I spent. 2003 bottle. Pours with a orangish body similar to a nice scotch with amazingly strong and solid alcohol legs, absolutely amazing. The apple aroma fills the room, filling in with solid apples, caramel, strong alcohol, more caramel, applejax, bay leaf, and some herbs (orregeno, and many others). Super complex. Some alcohol, flowers and honey as well. A bit of swiss cheese or jarlsberg yeastiness might be there as well. Taste is soo sweet, and concertated apples, so amazing, tons of caramel over the 60+ second duration. Mouthfeel is super syrupy, with tons of alcohol, sticky like honey. This cider is absolutely brilliant, mind blowing. Every sip I take, I cannot help but smile. This is an amazing beverage!!!

Bottle at EBF ... One of the Mikkeller gang brougth this... And my thanks to one and all for allowing me to sneak in and try this... This could well be my Highlight of the Festival Pale Pale Pale yellow .. stunningly sweet apple nose ... "Bramly apple pie just like Mummy used to make"... Oh the flavour in intense... sweet insane apples ....

Bottle that the Mikkeller gang brought along to share, cheers for invitng me over Henrikb Really stcky and sweet but quite wonderful. Very good tang its so concentrated makes you feel like it should be watered down. Lovely fresh sliced apples, quite incredible and so full flavoured, feel very fortunate to have this and the Dark Lord right after each other.

RB#5400: 5 cL bottle, thanks to Ungstrup. Pours clear and deep golden yellow to orange, no head. Dense apple aroma, sweet and phenol at once - almost mead like. Flavour starts sweet and reveals a solid apple authentic flavour with load of floral elements and phenol. Smooth and warming at once, light sugarish. Citric into the finish - light shivering :)

375 ml bottle from HogtownHarry! Thanks a ton Harry! Nose is fuji applelike with an appartent tart note;color of carotene with a yellow orange tone; thick syrupy body; taste of sweetdleicious apples with some honey tones, oakiness, and a dusting of cinnamonlike spiciness. Finish shows sweetness fading into a light tartness.

Extremely good cider! Aroma is sweet Apples (obviously) with some alcohol, cinnamon and another aroma which is nearly like a nice stilton (not in a bad way, but very different). Nice golden color, and you can see sheets of the liquid running down the glass. Taste is amazing. It starts sweet and then follows up with a nice bitterness that brings everything into a perfect balance. Syrupy mouthfeel. Really pleasant, but extremely expensive.

Courtesy of after4ever and shared with after4ever and bitbucket. Pours a watery clear gold. The aroma is green and red delicious apples mixed with a copious amount of red apple skins and some faint chemical alcohol notes. The taste throws back the senses into a tail spin from the bitingly bold flavor. It starts very thick and viscous, nearly sludgy, carrying a bout load of apples followed by hints of alcohol. The flavor is highly concentrated-condensed apples. The alcohol does create an odd almost chemical note but it doesn’t interfere with the experience much.

Another sampling of this. Pours clear deep gold with impressive sludgy legginess. The aroma pushes up rich sweet apple nectar along with tart apple skin like tannins followed by a bit of chemical booze to almost a cotton ball sensation. The rich taste goes from slick apple nectar sweetness and runs straight into tart green apple juice notes. To midway and into the finish it lends out some booziness and then a bit more sweet sticky apple nectar sweetness. Dynamite.

2005 bottle from robinvboyer; nose of apples and honey; translucent gold with no carbonation; flavor of tart apples, sugary sweetness, and light spices; body thick and syrupy1 Great cider!
