Bottle. Clear golden color with no head. Aroma is aromatic honey, spruce indeed, some solvents. Taste is beeswax, candlewax, forest honey, on the sweet side, some spruce with some lime-herbal flavours. Oily mouthfeel, flat. Supremely well-hidden ABV.

Bottle at cgarvieuk's. Pours clear gold. Aroma is honey, mead, spruce, citrus, flowers. Body is heavy, but not super sweet, lots of flowers and spruce and citrus and menthols indeed. A bit artificial. Not greatly balanced, but not bad either.

Bottle at Craigs, opaque pale yellow color, aroma of spruce, glue and honey, flavor of spruce, spice and honey that gets stronger in time and some candy, quite sweet but not over the top. Very nice.

Bottle split at Bodney, thanks to Fergus, 12/04/18. Light faded out golden with no head. Nose is herbal, sprucey tones, afterhave, citric zest, grassy. Taste comprises bitter sweet tones, honey, spice, floral, herbal bite, less spruce than on the nose. Full bodied, oily feel, sweet cloying climax. Ok mead.

Bottle shared in Hackney - thanks to Scopey. Pours clear, light yellow. Nice arom! Melon, honey, wheat bread. Meidum to big sweet flavour, lots of oily honey, floral notes. Full bodied, oily and chewy, soft. Mild warmth in the finish, more creamy honey, honeysuckle, sourdough. Great fun.
