Clayton Farm / Starvecrow Starvecrow Black Label
Starvecrow Black Label presents a sophisticated expression of a traditional English Cider, balancing rustic complexity with a crisp, refreshing structure. At 7% ABV, it opens with an evocative bouquet of crushed bittersweet apples, earthy orchard floor, and a hint of wild fermentation funk. The palate is defined by its resolute dryness and a bright, vinegary sourness that cuts through the rich fruit character. Layers of firm tannins provide a structural backbone, leading to a bone-dry, lingering finish. This cider captures the essence of heritage fruit, offering a deep, vinous profile that marries sharp acidity with a nuanced, farmhouse-driven depth.
Appearance. Brilliant clarity with a deep gold to burnished amber hue. Minimal to no head formation, typical of the style, with very fine carbonation bubbles visible.
Aroma. High intensity of ripe, cooked apple and bittersweet apple skin. Distinctive rustic notes of leather, damp earth, and a touch of farmhouse funk. Low acetic acid and moderate malic tartness are present, without any significant floral or citrus esters.
Taste. The initial impression is bone-dry and sharply acidic. Prominent bittersweet apple flavors are supported by a firm, tannic bitterness. A noticeable sourness, reminiscent of green apples and a hint of cider vinegar, provides a refreshing bite. No residual sugar is perceived; the finish is long, clean, and astringent.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a slight oily texture. Carbonation is low to still, emphasizing the tannic grip on the palate. A subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present at 7% ABV.
