Nov 7, 2009 Very cool bottle shared by Eric. Pours out a clear golden color with no head and some sticky legs. A great sweet flavor, loads of apples and warm alcohol notes. The flavor is just awesome; sweet apples, bursting with ripeness and sweet, but not overly so. A really nice Cider, and quite a kick.

Sep 22, 2009 Bottle [375ml]. 2004 vintage. Pours a lovely-looking clear gold, nice and oily and thick. Aroma of apple, oak, some sweetness and just a hint of alcohol. Flavour of delicious tart apples along with light spices, oak, honey and alcohol. Oily mouthfeel. Nice body for the style. Fantastic stuff, as usual for La Face Cachée.

Aug 12, 2009 Sampled at the DC Local Gathering. This was my first ever ice cider and I had no idea what to expect. Pours a golden amber with zero head. Aroma is nice but tought to describe: sweet, earthy, boozy. Flavor has very nice apples, sweet with a slight alcohol burn. Sticky in the mouth and throat. I guess I didn’t get it.

Aug 7, 2009 DC Gathering. big thanks to ygtbsm94. 2004 bottle. Filtered apple juice color. Alcohol laced apple aroma, very intense. Wow! Very big apple flavor. No real carbonation to speak of. All out apple flavor, micro sipper. Honey apple sweetness. Deep red and tart green apples tastes, very complex. Hyper enjoyable stuff.

Aug 5, 2009 From glouglouburp. Man this ice cider stuff is amazing. Pours a wonderful deep gold. Aroma, amazing. Sweet apples, apple pie, apple candy, honey, and light apple pie spices. Flavor is sweet, thick, rich and luxurious as hell. Apple heaven. Sweet apples, vanilla and honey undertones, light oak flavors....man oh man this stuff is fun to drink!

Jul 27, 2009 Bottle, Recolte 2006. Aroma initially of lots of alcohol, though that subsides (to a degree, still always present) to allow through lots of vanilla, honey, and apple pie filling, a touch of oak. Flavor sweet and rich with more of that apple pie nature. Decadent, thick-syrupy, smooth. First ice cider was a good one.

Jul 26, 2009 Botlle (huge thanks to my Secret Santa), 2006 I think. Pours orange with no head. Aroma of sweet apple, pear, grape, oak, vanilla, and booze. Flavor is sweet and appley with some oak and sweet fruits (more apple, lime, grape). Sweet, a little syrupy, and very warming. Wow, this is an awesome cider, just sublime!

Jul 17, 2009 (DC Local Gathering, 750ml, special thanks to ygtbsm94) – Clear still gold with great syrupy legs. Concentrated sweet spiced apple aromas with a soft subtle undercurrent of cinnamon honey and vanilla wood. Thick sweet warm apple flavors are well textured on soft swirls of honey, spice, and hints of oak. Medium bodied and slick from start to finish. This was unbelievable…
