Pale yellow pour, no real head. Sour apples, some light oak, very little bourbon noticeable. Ok cider underneath, barrel aging adds something pretty neat, but very lightly.

Had immediatly after the dry hopped cider. This is slightly less refreshing due to bourbon aging but not quite dessert level. You get tart apples, with light bourbon sweetness, oak, vanilla, and some light lemon. decent cider but im no expert in this field

Classic high quality cider, mild barrel notes, well balanced. based on other reviews, I was expecting more barrel, but I am happy with the clean cider flavor and subtle notes of wood.

500ml bottle from The Pine Box in Seattle, shared with Britt (thanks Britt!). Rich yellow-gold, some bubbles. Cedar wood, bourbon, crisp apples. cinnamon-hot tinge with clear wood and tart apples. Incredibly tasty, with strange and intriguing barreling. The hotness of the wood really adds something up front, but it does not get in way of clean flavors at the finish.

Bottle from brewolf...thanks Michael! - Pours clear dark golden with no head. Nose is subtle caramel apple, bitter, with an odd chemical smell. Pleasant, but still odd. Taste is dry, with white grape, bitter apple skins, and a nice juicy tartness. A bit watery, with no carbonation. Interesting, but it doesn’t quite pull it off.

500. Pours a slightly hazy burnished medium amber. No head or lace. Gorgeous big sweet red apple nose, fruity and sugary with underlying tartness. Creamy medium body, modest carb. Crisp and pearlike, barrel quality present but not dominant. Nice cider.

Started out with a pretty strong bourbon flavor, but the more I drank the more the flavor mellowed. Overall it was very enjoyable to drink.
