Liberty Ciderworks Blackstrap
Liberty Ciderworks Blackstrap is a robust, high-gravity Specialty Cider that bridges the gap between traditional orchard-driven character and rich, dark confectionery depth. Utilizing apples from Bishops’ Orchards in Garfield, WA, it presents a complex profile influenced by the integration of blackstrap molasses. Expect a bold sensory experience where the crisp acidity of Washington apples meets the dark, burnt sugar and savory umami notes of the molasses. The elevated ABV lends a warming, wine-like presence, making it a contemplative reserve cider that balances harvest-fresh fruit with deep, caramelized complexity and a structured, tannic finish.
Appearance. Deep amber to burnished copper (SRM 12-16); brilliant clarity. Typically still or with very low carbonation; no head formation or lacing.
Aroma. High intensity with dominant notes of dark brown sugar, molasses, and treacle. Secondary aromas of baked red apples, dried raisins, and a hint of licorice. Clean alcohol presence with no fusel notes; yeast character is neutral, emphasizing fruit and adjuncts.
Taste. Initial impression of rich, dark sweetness followed quickly by a firm, tart apple acidity. Flavors of caramelized sugar and blackstrap molasses dominate the mid-palate. No hop bitterness. The finish is long and lingering, balancing residual sweetness with a dry, skin-like tannic grip and a hint of savory complexity.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a viscous, syrupy texture. Low to no carbonation. Noticeable alcohol warmth that is smooth and well-integrated. Minimal astringency, though tannins provide a light, drying structure.
