4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Huge thanks to cheeseman for this one.
Pours a nice copperish hue with nice legs clinging to the glass. Simple aromas of earthy honey, light spice, and a hint of booze. Wow this is herbal with a wonderful rich honey backing. A touch of the ABV can be detected the overall balance is nice. Thick in body and rich. A real nice mead.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle, courtesy Cheeseman. The still pour looks dense, sporting a medium golden-amber color. Moderate to thick, drippy legging streams down the glass after each tilt. The nose is complex and rich, booming with fresh floral honey, with underlying notes of golden raisin, earthy-sweet fig, and a very soft touch of dried apple acidity (just a smidgen). Flavors are the mirror image, again loaded with warming blended honey and stewed, concentrated raisins and dates. The light, appley acidity lightens things up just a tad, keeping it interesting and lively. Just shy of full bodied, the viscous palate coast the mouth well, but seems just a little to sugary. Alcohol provides warmth, but doesn’t get overly hot and obtrusive. Excellent stuff.
