clear yellow, no head. Aroma of honey, wood and booze, well blended, although almost like it is a bit oxidated ( likely the wood, the bottle is fresh opened ). Flavor is fantastic. deep honey, with some herbal and woody notes on top of that, also faint flowery note, and faint frutiy notes. but mostly potent honey. very good mead.
