very interesting stuff here. smells like a can of poblano chilies with chocolate cherry intenseness. flavor is all there with a fresh chili bite. chocolatey, light fruitiness with some esters. overall very interesting to experience the medley of flavors

Bottle at a tasting at James’ place, thanks to Steve. Pours a deep crimson and ruby. Smoky chipotles, like a freshly opened can of them in adobo sauce. Medium bodied, cherry comes in quickly, a hint of cocoa, lots of warmth, more cherry comes back. Really nice, complicated but approachable. Long cherry pie, touches of smoky chipotle. Delicious.

UPDATED: MAR 31, 2012 Bottle shared by Steve. Pours dark cherry. Nose/taste of the perfect blend of black cherries with pits, cocoa, chili pepper, earthy vanilla and honey. Finishes with light chili pepper tingling the back of the palate. Fuller mouth feel than most meads. Slight dryness in trailing chili pepper finish after initial cherry/cocoa sweetness.

Thank you goes out to Brad for this one. Pours a very rich hue of red. Wonderful aromas of sweet honey, tart cherry juice, and earthy dried peppers. The flavor is the name. They nailed this one. It starts sweet and fruity. Hints of tart berries creeps in along with notes of earthy chocolate. As you swallow a slight warming hits the mouth and throat. This one tastes even better than I hoped it would. Cheers to Brad and the guys. They nailed this one.
