Bottled, thanks fiulijn. Pours clear pale amber, no head. Distinct coffee aromas comes through amongst honey and dry white wine. Rather slender and citric. Mint, orange, blueberries and coffee - tangerines and white wine in a slightly warming finish. Nicely drinkable mead.

Palidor19 (2385) - Brandon, Florida, USA - SEP 4, 2011
the aroma is decent with the coffee coming through without many other tendencies. the taste is funky and acidic but the honey and coffee hides it pretty well but not completely. the coffee is constant but it leaves a funk at he end.

nick76 (3591) - Tampa, Florida, USA - SEP 4, 2011
The aroma has coffee and wild honey with an acid funkiness. The appearance is amber brown with no head. The taste is like the aroma with the coffee being the strongest. The palate is watery thin. Overall this is an interesting mead.

MeadMe (977) - Riverview, Florida, USA - AUG 15, 2011
Pours a nice amberish gold hue. Aroma of fresh coffee, nothing else really come through. The flavor is very coffee forward. Very earthy with something strange going on that I just can’t quite put my finger on. Different. Really enjoy their Chili mead, this one not soo much.
