Huge cinnamon once the cap pops off. Copper pour. Smells like a boozy cinnabun. Super sweet, and a bit cloying. Not bad, but hard to know uf id want to drink a ton of this.

Ibrew2or3 (5777) - Tempe, Arizona, USA - MAR 3, 2013
6oz green glass bottle pours clear dull copper with gold hues and a tiny ring of big bubbles. The aroma offers up apples sweetness, muted cinnamon, sweet honey and a sense of waxy honeycomb. The taste is watery thin and lacks the lush thick richness of most meads. I get some sweet honey moving into a mix of mild sugar muted tart astringency and then a mild cinnamon note.

Bottle split with Ibrew2or3, thanks Dave. Cuivré, laissant entrapercevoir qcq légères bulles sur le rebord du verre. Arôme est subtile de cannelle sans dominer le tout. Garde un léger profile mielleux. Palais est de cannelle pour un palais à 9.5% pas franchement dans mes attentes Pointe d’épice avec une fin de bouche pour un fini sec avec un mielleux ici aussi très léger et en retrait. Ici, encore possible que avec l’age la cannelle se soit atténuée. Cet hydromel n’est que l’ombre du Cinnamonster from Hell laissant ici un aspect d’une version trop légère coupé à l’eau.

pantanap (3153) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - OCT 6, 2012
6oz nip bottle. courtesy of steve i believe but perhaps not... bottle yields a mostly transparent caramel pour, still but yet with unexpected bubbly action at the edges of the glass. not as leggy as the previous melomel consumed prior to... aroma is a nice balance of mild honey that pairs with the added cinammon. not bursting in any way, rather refrained overall... flavors are more of the same with notes of honey and light cinammon held in check mostly. there is a light tannic aspect to the honey profile. body is somewhat still - finish adds a little bit of earth. slightly spicy finish on the backend. not as warm as the previous. a little watery.

Bottle courtesy of Vinny with Von and Linh. Poirs a light amber red body with no head or lacing. Aroma is cinnamon, cherry and earthy. Mouthfeel is medium to light with notes of cherry, earthy, cinnamon, veggies, and grapes.

PhillyCraft (1975) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 16, 2012
Bottle with James and Linh, pours a lightly hazed amber copper, no head/lace. Aromas are apple cinnamon pie crust and honey. Taste is pure artichoke hearts and leafs, so green and earthy with a non cloying cinnamon honey sweetness, Cool.

6ounce nip bottle from MeadMe, thanks Greg, brought to Matt’s tasting in Chicago, poured an ambber red color with aromas of cinnamon, honey, light vanilla, and some toast. I am not a cinnamon fan, however the flavors were blended so well that the cinnamon was there but not the main player. Glad I got to have this and share, thanks again Greg.

jtclockwork (5105) - , New Jersey, USA - JUN 29, 2012
Bottle from a generous trader. Pours medium reddish brown. Nose/taste of honey, cinnamon, florals and vanilla. The rose hips and spring blossoms really mellow out the cinnamon.

bottle..pours a dark amber...aroma of big honey, florals, and some nice cinnamon. flavor of big cinnamon butter and sweet honey...reminds me of cinnamon buttered toast with some nice sweetness..good, but this is no cinnamonsters revenge (which was insane!)..
