4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Bottle. Pours a honey colored body with nice warming legs running up the sides of the glass. Luscious liquid caramelized malted apples, honey, tart and sweet apple skins with a final pollen honey note. A fantastic ice cider.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle pours clear orange color with no carbonation. This is done to style. Aroma is sweet apple. Luscious mouthfeel. Flavor is sweet apple cider in a glass with a nice warmth. Alcohol is not detected here and the sweetness is not cloying at all. As far as ice ciders go this is perfection in a bottle. This was tasted at a beer and food pairing. It was paired deliciously with aged cheddar. Yum!

It was cheese who brought this gift. It wasn’t cheap, not bought at the thrift. Apples galore in the nose. Delicious enough to warrant prose. With a smile I say to cheese a huge thanks. And for another bottle I would certainly walk the plank. Cheers.

October ‘09 O-Town Throwdown.
Another huge cheer to Cheeseman for bringing this bottle.
Never thought cider could be so tasty and really enjoyed every single sip.
’04 bottle, ltd # 8133
Pours amber./ orange, syrupy/oily in texture.
Aroma and flavor, just loaded with apple. Not hints of being 11.5%, gorgeous syrupy eye candy. Harvested frozen on the tree in winter.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Tasted at Otown Throwdown courtesy Cheeseman. Thick copper pour. Sweet apple aroma, not sugary more like apple pie. Thick sweet apple taste, not cloying. Taste is remarkably light for something so thick. Absolutely awesome.

I can imagine that this is what felating God would taste like.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
UPDATED: JUL 26, 2010 2002 bottle. Aroma of rich cognac, baked apples, and a myriad of tropical fruits. A little hot on the tongue but when drank like a good, neat scotch, this thing is sublime. Rich waves of fine cognac, incredibly dense apples, mangoes, guavas coat the palette. A zesty grapefruit-like presence can also be found, which is a quality totally absent from the cidery’s other offerings. Thich and incredibly rich. Concentrated apple sugars in a blissful package. A slow sipper for sure, best out of a small snifter I find, and in small doses.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Shared by Thickfreakness. Thanks! Pours like apple juice. Smell is apple juice, apple syrup and a touch of alcohol perhaps. Taste is very smooth and apple and honey like without a cloying sweetness. Very easy drinking. Concentrated apple flavor without super sweetness, and a light warming character from the alcohol. Good stuff.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Clear golden orange, still. Served chilled, in Neige glass. Aroma - pure apple extraction. Flavor - medium/high sweetness, applesauce, apricot, honey. Almost lightly spiced, as of cinnamon, nutmeg? Thick almost syrupy consistency. The bottom of the bottle delivers a lovely warming sensation.
4.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
2003 bottle from a trade last year (I seem to have lost my note about who its from). Beautiful golden color with some serious legs after swirling the glass. Strong, sweet apple aromas, with lots of apricot, peach, and honey. Flavor is wonderfully sweet with lots of thick apples, honey, apricots, and more "Sweetness". Fantastic feel with wonderful tannins and acidity. Nearly liquid heaven. Awesome.
