6.3 oz bottle at the brewery. "Fermented and aged in an oak barrel for 2 years" - this had a rich, red, plum color. A blend of several different wines delivered a mixed berry/fruit/vinous/oak aroma. Wonderfully complex - the grapes came through in the flavor, along with the oak, honeycomb and floral notes. Seemed very different than most of their meads and definitely lived up to the pyment classification. Full- body and appropriately semi-dry.

Red pour, no head. Flavors of red wine, grapes and honey. A real treat that I enjoyed more than some of the other Kuhn meads I have tried. I like the use of the wine.

Thanks Steve for the bottle! Pours a clear ruby red. Nose is vinous, of cinnamon, sweet plums, red hard candies? Mouth is at first like a sweet, dark red wine, vinous and spicy. More cinnamon, then red raspberries, plums, other ripe red fruits. Sugars expressed beautifully. This is about 1000x better than any mead I’ve had, granted none of the others were even drinkable.

Nice amber hue. Aromas of red wine, berries and honey. Wow wonderful stuff. Earthy and vinous red wine. Cherry skins and grapes. Subtle honey notes with some wood real nice stuff. Winey, tart, yet sweet.....awesome.

6 oz bottle. A still mead, red amber in color. Aromas of white bread, honey, red grape juice, somewhat toasty. Flavor has honey and white bread, rather sweet, with red grape. Not quite a syrupy palate, this is on the thinner side of that. I definitely like it.

GTMW 2011. Poured clear dark reddish copper color with good legs. Heavy grape, honey and small alcohol aroma. Medium body with a thick smooth texture. Medium to heavy dark fruit and honey flavor with a medium to heavy complex sweet finish of moderate duration. Pleasing smooth alcohol burn. Standout mead.

Pour from a tiny bottle that kind of makes me feel like a giant. Ruby port red in color. Nose is mostly wine, red grapes with a hint of honey. Beautiful balance of red wine and honey sweetness. Would like to have this with some nice cheese and would like to have this in a 750 ml bomber!

Bottle big thanks to Matt for the bottle! Pour is dark red, aroma brings notes of grape, sweet floral honey, some booze and vanilla, touch of sourness from the grapes. Taste is red grapes, hints of oak, nice sweet honey with some vanilla notes, goes into a dry slightly sweet finish.

Thanks to womencantsail, I think. Clear pale reddish and wine-colored with no head more or less. The aroma is of honey and wine grapes, maybe some berry notes. Really interesting flavor, like a red wine or port, oak, vanilla, and hazelnuts. Tasty and complex, really impressive. Medium-full bodied with little carbonation. Great stuff overall. One of their better meads that I’ve had.

Bottle shared by dalekliz. Pour is deep brown, no head. Sweet almost manachevitzy nose. Taste is sweet, vinous and somewhat complex. Yum
