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.
Bottled 09/19/2012, Batch #5, 19% ABV

Bottle at Utopian flight and chocolate pairing. Pours a dark gold with small white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is honey and earth. Slick body, honey, apple, light booze, very good.

Bottles 9-19-2012 . Pours clear, darker blonde. Smell is tad boozy, complex. Taste is full, intense, sweet, still a lot of honey. Funky. Some oak, boozy, not extracting much else from the barrel though. Nice, but not amazing mead.

Thanks Brian for sharing. Hazy yellow and no head. Smells very raw just like straight up honey, clove, some tobacco and oregano, just a lot of spice along with orange and honey. Very strong and noticeable alcohol burn specifically toward the finish. It’s just like drinking a thin honey. orange peel, some slight kiwi and brandy. Sweet but it’s not cloying. really nice.

375 ml bottle thanks to Willrunforbeer. Batch number 5. Thanks for the chance at this high dollar share! Clear brown in color. Aroma is oak, toffee, dried flowers and honey. The flavor of course is sweet with honey but the toffee with a light trace of cognac and oak helps cut the sweetness. Also I’m not sure where the floral note comes from but it does have that as well. Pretty enjoyable.

Poured from bottle thanks Willrunforbeer batch #5. Pours golden with nice lacing in the glass. Aroma of honey flowers and oak. Taste is stone fruit oak and a nice balanced alcohol finish.
