Bottle shared by Travlr at the DC Pre-Thanksgiving tasting. Thanks! Poured a hazy ruby brown color with no head. Aroma is cherry, some woody vanilla notes. Flavor was light cherries, some cold medicine. Booze.

Brown pour. A little rough around the edges. Light bitter finish. Not a lot of honey or sweetness. Some astringency here and not a lot of balance. Bottle shared by Travlr.

Bottle from the source. Crystal clear bright pinkish red, flat. Nice aroma of lightly dusty and peppery honey and very light cherry. The tea comes through a bit more in the taste, with some light herbal notes followed by dried fruit. Dry finish. Very tasty.
