Bottle. This is my favorite mead. Has the right balance of sweet and dry and a taste of honey that is not over powering. Love the warming feeling that one gets in the stomach. Great For mulling and enjoying at the holidays.

Bottle at Chris O’s pre-GBBF shindig, 2013. Light green pour with a white head. Honey and baked apple aroma. Heavy sweet spice action in the flavour- cloves, cinnamon- accentuates the dominant honey taste. Not bad.

Bottle at the ChrisO Holiday Tasting, London - thanks to Mes and Sim. Pours clear yellow tint with a few bubbles. Sweet honey aroma, hints of spices and herbs. Big sweet flavor, plenty of sticky honey, light spiciness. Full bodied with fine, flat carbonation. Moderately warming finish, medium sweet, not as thick as some meads I’ve had. Nice dry honey character in the end.
