2000 vintage from my snifter. pours pale honey yellow with no head or carbonation. not transparent but not hazy, very thick looking. aromas are boozy with honey covered apples and lavender. flavours are out of this world. golden apples baked with cinnamon give way to honey. Satisfyingly complex while at the same time being palatable. Loses one point for noticeable alcohol on the palate. A wonderful drinking experience.

Bottle, thanks for picking it up for me Jerc and mabel! Nice medium yellow, no head. Pure honey aroma. Taste - good. Pure honey, most natural tasting honey mead I have ever had. Almost earthy, especially in finish. Stunning taste = very drinkable, not too hot. Wonderful soft tingly mouthfeel. A perfect after dinner sipper is small doses.

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. <br /><i>&#40;Vintage 2000; c/o HogTownHarry, w/ others&#41;</i> <br /><i>Overheard: "Don’t come to me with questions of a personal nature."</i>

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.
