Barnstormer Black Cider

Barnstormer Black is a bold, high-strength dry apple cider crafted in England for those who like their cider with real backbone. Made from fermented apple juice and pushed to a higher alcohol level, it delivers a robust, no-nonsense cider experience with a crisp, dry finish.

Full-bodied and intensely refreshing, this is a cider that doesn’t shy away from flavour. Expect a strong apple character, subtle bitterness, and a clean mouthfeel that keeps it surprisingly drinkable despite its strength.

Perfect for seasoned cider drinkers looking for something drier, stronger, and more traditional.
