Sampled on draft at the meadery this mead poured a dark caramel color. The aroma was sweet with tannin, pie crust and vague fruits. The flavor was tannin with tart notes of apple, pear and maybe berry. Long finish with lingering tannin. Moderately full bodied. Disappointing.

Thanks to sliffy for sharing a bottle. My first crack at a Mead. Pours reddish-amber with a thin bone white head. Spotty lacing on the glass. Raspberry and cherry aroma. Medium body with tart raspberry flavor, plus notes of malt and lavender. The finish is fruity with a lingering floral aftertaste. Tasty and interesting overall.
