In this cider blog, we are going to sample out a new cider from Woodchuck Hard Cider. It is their Cellar Series Chocolate. If you read my earlier blogs on their ciders, you know the history of this Northeast Cider company. If you have not, please, read those blog posts to get to know this cider company. I bet you have heard of Woodchuck and already know the history. Let us get into this special and new cider.
It has a beautiful clear light brown color without a head on this cider. The smell is a heavy chocolate notes. The taste is chocolate with apple cider at the end of the drinking experience with an apple cider aftertaste. It is a pretty drinkable beer.
Here is a description from the beer bottle:
Woodchuck Cellar Series Chocolate features our original small batch hard cider, complemented by cacao beans. The inclusion of crushed cacao beans notes of artisan chocolate throughout the nose and taste of the cider. A hint of caramel accompanies the full apple flavor with a dry finish. Cellar Series Chocolate is one of the most unique ciders we have ever crafted, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Cheers! John Matson Cider Maker

In the end, I was pretty excited to see them post on their twitter account that they were releasing a new cider. However, it was not just a new cider, it is a pretty unique one. This is a chocolate cider and then I was pretty nervous and interested. There is a ton going on in this cider and it is pretty good. I love the chocolate notes but it does not overpower the cider part. It is pretty well balanced cider. I love the smells and it is awesome. This is great beverage to enjoy on a nice winter day with a ton of snow. We all this year has received a ton of snow. Go out and get a chocolate cider from Woodchuck Hard Cider. I recommend it. Drink it! Enjoy it! Metal it! \m/
Cheers!
