Bottle purchased at my local Market Basket. Sat in my basement for close to a year. Time to open... Purple ruby color. Aroma is mild berries with a pretty strong amount of honey.

Flavor has a bit more ancho then I was expecting. Mild blueberry, hint of old lady’s perfume and a good amount of wildflower honey. If the alcohol was toned down it would improve the overall experience.

Bottle from The Beer Junction, Seattle; synthetic cork
Measured Final Gravity: 1010
Dark red dull color. Mild aroma of berry wine. Smooth mouthfeel in the front, lightly alcoholic and astringent later. Some berry flavor, but no harmony, and most of all no mead character. I’m drinking expensive booze, I don’t think I’m getting value for the bucks.

Draft at ChurchKey, they gave me like 8 ounces of this stuff instead of the 4oz pour, what are they thinking. I’m now drunk. Poured a hazy, purple color with a small light blue color. Aroma was so-so, a bit medicinal, soapy, light berry. However, while the aroma was so-so, flavor was very pleasant blueberry.
