Truly a unique mead that offers a flavor not just unlike any other mead but unlike any other beverage in the world. Our single barrel releases are limited and identified the batch number. We aged and fermented this mead in hand-selected, Samuel Adams Utopias® casks from the award-winning Boston Beer Company.
This flavorful, slightly fruity mead has a semi-sweet, complex flavor that is reminiscent of a deep, rich vintage port, fine cognac or aged sherry. Rich oak notes last long into the finish.

loads of booze. Very honey forward mulch, grass, dry white wine and cognac delicious but needs just a bit more balance. crazy with so much age on it.

Bottle thanks to Tom. Pours a clear orange gold with no head. The aroma is oak, honey, spice, booze. Medium body, honey, spice, oak, strong booze finish, good.
