clear gold, lots of thick legs, tart apple aroma with a touch of alcohol, big thick body, incredable rich apple flavor, strong sweetness is balanced by a crisp apple tartness, long tart finish retains the full apple character,

Maybe a notch darker in its golden tones than the regular ice cider, this is a rather exquisite ice cider which does just take a bit of the barrel character to impart it to the already pretty good basic St-Denis Pomme de Glace. We therefore have all the typical right applesauce goodness where soft woody tannins penetrate to complexify the matters. No notable oxidation. The acidity level is comforting, balancing a bit the concentrated fruits which head a bit toward mandarin and peach nuances on top of the apples. A fine drink.

Bottle… O-Town Throwdown Part Tres… Here it comes… wait for it… wait for it… ok, here it is… This cider rocks!.... The clear yellow elixir pours oily and leaves sexy, thick legs after going for a swirl in my glass. The rich aroma offers a variety of über-concentrated apples with a whisper of vanilla. Ultra sweet flavor, but also acidic. Simple, tasty. Full-bodied and oily with minimal carbonation. Mostly sweet, lightly tart finish. Thanks go out to Dickinsonbeer for providing the sample of this world class cider!

Darker than Pomme de Glace, with a nice cooked compote aroam, some woody notes. Good sweet apples, caramelized in character, wooden notes, with apricot jam notes. Rich and smooth alcohol. At Salon des Vins et Spiritueux de Montréal, March 25 2006.

2008-10-02. Crisp dark yellow body coats the glass a bit. (3+) Big aroma of lightly caramelized apple, sugars, fruity apple. (8+) Flavour is mostly sweet sugars at first, fruit, apple note in the finish speaks heavily of skins. Perhaps an oaky earth note? tart apple undertones take their time arriving, but ultimately keep it from becoming cloying. Smooth medium to full bodied palate. (4+) Lovely stuff. Bottle c/o Quevillon
