Bottle. Pours neon yellow with falling legs. It has an interesting molasses-like aroma, kind of "dark," for lack of a better word, with deep wildflower, honey, and cork. The flavor is very floral with some profound honey tones and some syrupy grain notes. Pretty smooth.

Bottle consumed alongside Tronraner and crew. This mead pours semi-thick with plenty of tiny little white floaties disperesed throughout the liquid. Even, slowly descending legs are left on the sides of the snifter after a good swirl. This has a very floral, ala hibiscus, nose with not subtle-at-all honey. Oh, and a weird scent of cheese or, less pleasantly, sneakers. Mouth feel is fairly coating and has assertive, though not overdone, honey throughout. Tons of flowers and soft-wood notes refresh my palate. This is decent mead, the one strange thing in the smell is the only real downside in my opinion.
