Bottle. Hazy pale golden color with no head. Aroma is pretty simple beeswax, some vanilla, a bit straightforward, apple phenols. Taste is the same, almost cider-like. Not exactly for me.

Bottle from Etre. Pale, clear, yellow. Raw honey, quite a bit of oak. Slightly astringent. Surprisingly low sweetness. Not much vanilla to be found.

18/I/21 - 510ml bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ ElManana’s First Fire Basket Tasting, BB: VIII/2023, bottle # 29/121, bottled: VIII/2020 (2021-61) Thanks to Erwin for sharing the bottle!
Clear pale yellow mead, no head. Aroma: pears, bit fruity, some honey, smells very nice! MF: no carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweet start, lots of honey, some vanilla, bit fruity, sugary, quite some alcohol, nice. Aftertaste: fruity, pears, bit oxidized, lots of alcohol, decent stuff.
