Tap @ CBC2015. Pours dark ruby red with no head. Aromas of port wine, dry vinous notes, red grapes, honey. Taste is sweet (no wonder) with honey, vinous red notes, some rosé-like notes to it aswell. Slightly spicy aswell. God damn, this is good.

Thanks, DerA. Dark ruby with no head. Aroma is oak, berries, red wine, honey. Taste is sweet honey with good bodied oak and some tanines. A bit too sweet for drinkability. Could be a cheap red wine, that is much too sweet. So overall only decent.

Bottle, courtesy of DerA. Pours clear dark ruby. Aroma of cheap red wine, honey. Body is sweet, very winey, not sticky, intense. Cream. Lingering palate. I prefer the pure meads.

Bottle, many thanks derA! Ruby color with a couple of bubbles. Aroma is honey, . Taste is red wine, honey. Full-bodied. Nice balance between the wine and mead. The wine part is a bit too unrefined for me, but still extremely drinkable!

Tap at Mikkeller and Friends in Shimokitazawa. Big muscat, grape juice nose with some dark cherry and very light floral honey in the background as it warms. Juice-like body without much carbonation. Easy drinking for the abv. Very sweet on the palate. The wine grapes really standout but they come off more like grape juice with the sweetness I suppose. Still a fun mead experiment. --- Beer merged from original tick of Aphrodisia Pyment - Cabernet & Syrah on 22 Oct 2016 at 18:23 - Score: 7. Original review text: Grape juice!

Deep Purple color. Massive vinious nose with with the Cab Sav shining. Sweet. So much grapes. Massively sweet mouth that is fairly boozy, with just tons of grapes. The wine is so well integrated. Fantastic luscious sweet vinious finish. Amazing.
