Bottle pours with a clear copper body that tosses up some nice legs. The aroma offers up big rich apples, spicy honey, nectar sweet sugars, boozy wax and then a funky earthy oddness in the background. The taste delivers firm rich sweet nectar like apple flowing into a waxy note. It picks up earthy funky fruity gravel to midway and into the finish. Interesting.

bottle from beergium. aroma of honey, booze, wood and... wax?? bit strange. dry aroma. flavor is honey, faint fruits, quite high on bitterness, i think i get wood in the flavor. also some pear. fairly sweet, but far from as sweet as a plain mead is, bitterness is a little bit too much, but the fruits and bitterness in total do a great balance to the top notch honey flavor in there. very smooth base, both flavor and palate. The bitterness almost resembles the kind of bitterness you find in red wine.

Bottle received in trade. Reddish golden pour. Weird yet intriguing blend of cider apples & tart prickly pear. Floral vanilla honey. Sweet & tart. Good! --- Beer merged from original tick of B.

Bouteille 375ml de Bierhalle. Couleur ambre - jus de pomme caramel, léger filament huileux au verre. Arôme offre un bouquet bien mielleux avec un rétro de poire et melon. Le mielleux reste cependant assez dominant, sorte de fleurs sauvages. Alcool perce en rétro et reste accompagnée de fines effluves fruitées. Palais est doux frais mielleux, retrouve un effet de suite sur la pore avec un petit effet -figue de Barbarie - qui confère un effet caramélisé / tirant sur le melon et pomme cara. Fin collant aux lèvres avec rappel de raisin sec / limite pruneau et oignons marinés comme pour un lapin à la bière.. Petite pointe de chaleur qui progresse en fin de bouche. Figue de barbarie donne un effet un peu amer - râpeux tranchant avec la douceur.
