At Matt’s place. Intense aroma and taste with notes of vanilla, sweet apples, some bourbon and a slight touch of wood. Some notes of raw yeast pastry in the aftertaste. Veeery interesting.

375mL bottle, pours a fairly clear blonde with a few bubbles. Aroma brings out lots of vanilla and honey, with floral notes underneath. Flavour brings out lots of vanilla (maybe from the barrel), along with a touch of wood, flowers and honey. The honey presence is very prominent, not masked by anything else. Wonderfully balanced, with only a slight boozy finish. Excellent.

Tasting at Matt’s; corked bottle
Hazy blond color. Mild and delicate aroma, notes of mead and vanilla, flowery. It doesn’t seem so dry, the mouthfeel is very soft; not much mead flavor per se, but it has a strong presence of Bourbon, a bit woody in the final. The alcohol is a bit noticeable.
Very nice.

Thank you! 375 ml. bottle sampled @ “Dean’s sticky Bomb Shelter” Tasting. Med dark yellow. Nose is sweet syrupy apple, alcohol is there but isn’t overly heavy, fruit carries more of a white sugar, residual sugar quality than actual fruit. Taste is med. syrupy simple apple juice with good amount but not excessively so white sugar, residual sugar, alcohol is clearly there, continues throughout the taste ,… Low tart in the back. Rather sweet but not extremely so. Med. lightly syrupy substantial body. Overall a highly pleasing but also very simple Ice Cider offering. Lacks some complexity compared to some others. Very good still.

Bottle shared. Pours clear golden with no head. Aroma of sweet red apples, light toffee and a little sharp cooking apple behind. Flavour is light heavy sweet. Medium bodied with fairly flat carbonation.

Bottle @ Steve_0, thanks to b3shine for the very generous bonus. Pours a golden appearance with no head. Smells like apple juice with a little bit of spice. Not a ton of complexity in the aroma but it smells nice enough. A little gooey. Thick, apple syrup flavor with some cinnamon and vanilla. Gooey. Kind of fun but not on the same level as some Quebecois ciders.
