Bottle from Scrattings. It pours clear rich amber with no head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, earth, apple skin, damp leaves, dried apple, tang, baked goods, apple pie, fruit cake, light citric tang and hot toddy with a slice of lemon. The taste is firmly dry upfront, earthy, toothy, big oak character, tannin, soft apple, leather, spice, light warmth, hot toddy, hint of vanilla, black tea and chai latte with a very drying, oaky finish. Medium body and still. An interesting cider for sure. A bit too dry and oaked for one to consume many, but perhaps that's a good thing?
