Clear pale yellow colour. Aroma of herbs, anis seeds, caraway seeds. Flavour of jelly beans, honey, anis seeds, liquorice. Finish honey and jelly beans. My first metheglin. Interesting and nice, but for me it never got further than that.
(From 18cl bottle @ the pre-RBBWG get-together at Tim’s place. Thanks for sharing, Seba!!)

18 cl. bottle sampled @ RBBWG 2014. Courtesy of & thx! to Sebletitje. Woohoo! Kuhnhenn mead. Clear pale golden. Smells of anis, menthol mint, touch chemicals, jelly beans, citrus, honey. Taste of jelly beans, anis, light menthol & spear mint, sugar, jelly bean finish, quite sugary & sweet, honey. Mildly sticky. Unique, interesting, neat stuff, would have loved it even more if I was a bigger fan of black jelly beans.

6oz green glass bottle pours water clear with just a slight gold hue to it and leaving behind thin legs around the glass. The aroma I straight up sweet honey as well as some earthy notes, a paper quality and booze at the end of the draw. The taste is similar with smooth sweet honey that is cut by drying alcohol and a modest degree of spicy black licorice into the finish. Overall it seems kind of thin and maybe a bit short on residual sweetness as well as the treatment flavor at this point is really mild, which might just be the age of the bottle doing this.

Bottle split with Ibrew2or3, thanks Dave. Doré clair, pas de col. Arôme est mielleux avec une approche laissant pensé à un cyser, bouquet léger et subtile de réglisse. Plais est doux, balancé avec une note de réglisse-anisé. Le côté black jelly est assez faible et se fait très discret surtout en fin de bouche. Rappelle un peu la peau verte de pomme. Possible que cet hydromel avec le temps aie perdu un peu des caractéristiques de la réglisse.
