Mar 2, 2008 Bottle @ thewolf tasting.
[thank you, Aga]
Pours clear golden, light film head. Aroma is mild, the honey is subdued, but there is lots of alcohol. Light fruity sourness. Oily mouthfeel, slight bit of carbonation. Flavour is vinious, very, very sweet. Lots of caramel and fruity notes amongst the honey. Far too sweet.

Mar 1, 2008 Golden colored, no head. Rich aroma with dominating honey and currant, alcohol comes mildly up. Medium to full bodied. Flavor is similar to aroma: currant and sweetness with honey are obvious here, aftertaste lasts with sticky sweetness and alcohol. Well, nice desert.

Feb 14, 2008 Thanks turdferguson for sharing this one. Man mead must not be my thing. This one is better than the other one I’ve had. Pours a copper gold with no head of course. The aroma is sticky sweet honey with some currant, alcohol, and a little spice. The flavor is sweet smooth honey, spice, and currant. Alcohol is too much and this is too sweet for me. Anything more than a couple of ounces is too overpowering.

Feb 5, 2008 Bottle from Sam’s. Clear befuddled amber with no head. Rich alcoholic nose with some sweet honey under it, but mainly just alcohol which really turns me off. Flavor is less harsh than expected, with rich honey flavor and a mild black current aftertaste, Pretty good and warming, but not my favorite cup of tea.
