Bottle. A- Apple pie filling, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove. A- Gold color, clear liquid, no head. T- Apple pie filling, nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, mild alcohol. P- Medium body, average texture, flat carbonation, slightly boozy finish. O- This was pretty much liquid apple pie. Not worth the price tag but pretty dang good. The barrel does add a warming sensation on the finish. Really good but not quite world class.

Bottle. Pour with clear yellow with good lace. Aromas are of bourbon, caramelized wood notes, vanillin, dry tannin, lots of heat. Spices are quite subdued compared to non BA version. Cinnamon toast crunch. Flavors are warming, mild potpurri spices, drying tannin, rich barrel vanillin. Lots of alcohol. Syrupy and well balanced (sweet vs acidity).

Sample at the tasting room. Pours a crystal clear pale golden color with a minimal head and sticky legs on the glass. Oaky aroma with apple and spice notes. Full-bodied with flavors of oaky bourbon, sweet apples and spices. The finish is oaky with a lingering apple pie spice aftertaste. Enjoyable Mead all around.
