375ml bottle from Scrattings. Rating #3900. Dark amber brown colour, no head and aroma of apple pie, pastry, caramel, vanilla. Taste is sweet, tangy apple, tart juicy, apple pie hints, with drying oaky tannin. Syrupy mouthfeel, full bodied, low carbonation, semi-dry finish with residual sweetness. Nicely sippable.

187 ml. bottle sampled @ "D. & E. Tasting #3". Obtained in a trade with AdamChandler, likely a vintage. Quite dark orange. Nose is very sweet thicker ice cider, sugar, sweet warming, low cinnamon. Taste is sweet warming syrup, apple candy, thick sweet syrup ice cider, sugar, pleasantly warming, some sugar,… Thicker bodied. Very good Ice Cider far better than their Honeycrisp.

To the left! Crazy depth in the acidity supplemented by a solid sweetness. Drop barrel character. Raisins and caramel. Amazing stuff!

Bottles received through the Eden Ice Cider Club. Labeled 2011NS201 and 2013NS101. Pours clear amber leaving some prominent legs on the glass. Smell is heavy fruity with concentrated apple must, caramel, toffee, charred wood, vanilla, hay, minerals, lemon peal and hints of apple pie spices. Taste is sweet, sour and heavy fruity. mouthfeel is round, heavy oily, tart and near full bodied. Finish is sweet and sour with concentrated apple must, raisins, caramel, charred wood, hay, minerals, lemon peal and alcohol. 2011NS201 provides even deeper caramel and raisins notes with leather and fat concentrated sweet and tart apples. 2013NS101 is good but 2011NS201 is plain amazing! --- Beer merged from original tick of Northern Spy on 16 Jan 2016 at 18:25 - Score: 8. Original review text: To the right! Lovely balanced between the sweetness and tartness. Nice barrel character.

Bottle @ home, thanks to Lukaduke. Another completely dried out cork from Eden. Not sure if I mis-stored these bottles or if their corks just suck ass. Dark golden orange appearance with no head. Caramel, sugar, hint of rubber, booze, baked apples in the nose. Medium body. Not overly gooey. The flavor is also not overly sweet compared to some ice ciders. Vanilla, toffee, caramel, and candy. A little boozy. Good but probably not $25 good.
