Clear, dirty gold body. No Head... looks nice. Nice legs on this bitch. Aroma is spicy honey and apples. Taste is, uh... spicy honey and apples. Some well-water mineral aspects too and nutrasweetened fruit juice. A little hot. But I suppose its par for the course in that respect. Overall, very good.

Sep 29, 2008 This mead is truly out of this world. It pours a reddish gold. The aroma is of herbs, raisins, flowers, and some mild spice. The flavor is amazing. Smooth, sweet, but not too sweet. It has enough dryness to remind me of amontillado sherry. Notes of raisins, orange peel, and some cinnamin or mint on a dry honey canvas. I’m new to mead, but I think started in the right spot.

Sep 18, 2008 #500. When I started out rating beers I had no idea what a mead was. Apropos I suppose that my 500th rating would be something as random as this. The pour was clear and golden with no head. The aroma was honey (well, it was super sweet so I’ll attribute that to the honey) and floral notes with some light spice. The flavor was nice floral notes up front that quickly transitioned into sweet honey and spice. The mouthfeel was full, rich and syrupy. The finish was lingering sweetness that wasn’t offensive. The ridiculous thing about this mead was that I couldn’t taste any alcohol and at 19% ABV I find that to be really impressive.

Aug 28, 2008 Wow. Clear dark gold/amber in color with no head, obviously. Honey, hibiscus and hop notes in the nose. Rich, honeyed vinous taste with a strong floral/herbal thing going on. Sweet, but not as much as expected. Potent and wonderful.

Aug 7, 2008 Bottle bought today @ Mckean And Charles it was pretty pricey but I’ve never seen this cheap before. Don’t know a heck of a lot about Meads but if Bart likes it its worth a try. Pours orange with no head. Nose is very sweet with lots of flavor and some hoppyness. Sweet floral with lots sweet honey notes. Its a yummy mead, I like it.

Jul 27, 2008 Wow! Thanks, Blair! This was where the evening took a pretty dramatic downhill turn. Sweet, delicious but not too sweet. Not too dry. One of the better meads I’ve tried. This shit got me all kinds of fucked up. There. I said it. Lovely stuff.
