Pours a crystalline yellow. Aroma is a symphony for the senses. Apples, pears, cranberries, angelica, plums all make an appearance. The honey is very evident, intoxicatingly so. The flavor is sweet and viscous, with a warming honey flavor the envelops you. Simply an awesome mead.

750 ml bottle from HogTownHarry! Thanks! Nose is sweet honeycomb right out of the hive, with some woodiness and golden delicious apples; translucent pale yellow with no head or bubbles; favor is like a light colored wood such as ash, with honey, appley notes and some light alchol warmth. Excellent mead!

Honey Apple Wood aroma. Pale yellow with no head. Very sweet honey with a nice apple taste. You’re aware of the alchohol but the sweetness keeps it from being overpowering.

[1387-20080524] Bottle. Apple wood aroma has a sweet sticky honey note and has a strange lingering sweaty boy waft at the end. Hazy, light yellow white body with no head. Heavy apple and wood booze flavour with a bit of butter, mostly honey notes. Medium-full body. Interesting hazy colour, super boozy.
(Vintage 2000; c/o HogTownHarry, w/ others)

Bottle- 750 ml from the winery- Straw liquid pours and on the swirl, leaves nice syrupy legging. The nose is honey and heavy woody and floral components, with just a slight hint of vanilla. Sweet honey and alcoholic fruitiness, combines with wood and wet grass, straw. Quite booze laden and also syrupy, but in the proper dosage, this is quite a treat. It’ll take a me a while to finish this bottle.

Bottle (750ml) shared at ’Biegaman’s Second Annual Saison Tasting’ -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. 2000 vintage. Very pale yellow-gold colour, looking a bit dish-watery - that’s not very promising. But then I check the aroma - big, warm honeycomb with a slight oakiness - oh yeah, that’s nice! Medium bodied, quite smooth. As Harry notes below, it tastes like honey with a nice floral character, with a hint of the oak from the aroma coming through in the flavour as well. Seems really one-dimensional when I write it down, but it was actually quite vibrant and mouth-warming.
