Dec 22, 2007 This is a metheglin style mead, spiced with ginger and hops. Pours brilliantly clear, medium gold. No head, it is a still beverage. Aroma is big ginger, some honey, and hints of hops. Alcohol is also apparent. Flavor is big ginger upfront, with nice honey character, and a good hop background. Body is medium, and finish is well balanced between ginger and honey.

Mar 27, 2008 Thanks for LordErasmus for sharing this treasure. A mead of gigantic proportions, with lots of ginger on the nose (somewhat less so in the body). Tons of sweet elixir flavor. A warming treat at 19% - you can taste the alcohol, for sure.

Mar 4, 2008 Bottle: Courtesy of thedm and hotstuff at the locals tasting. Golden pour, no head. Herbal honey and ginger aroma with some slight "hot" touches to it. Very smooth body even though the ethyl was coming through in droves. Floral, herbal honey flavor with some of the ginger notes coming through. A bit hot right now, but still mighty fine.
