Pliny the Elder. Brought it all the way back from Seattle to Texas. Definitely lives up to the hype.

I just bottled some dark cider today that I made using one pound of dark brown sugar per gallon of juice and made some mulled cider with cinnamon, clove, and anise with the two cups I had left over. I would definitely recommend making something similar. I would go with the EC-1118.
