We threw a whole bunch of stuff at this experimental mead – Elliot blueberries, black currants, cherries, coffee blossom honey from Hawaii, vanilla beans, and fresh roasted Oaxaca coffee beans from our good friends at Steamwhistle Coffee Roasters in Crown Point – and it turned out AWESOME. An homage to Midnight Oil, a member exclusive bottle from Year 1, Midnight Elliot goes several steps further, showcasing layers upon layers of flavor complexity from entry palate to the end.

Deep, dark purple, near black. Lots of berries in the smell at first, which become overwhelmed by earthy coffee. Rich body, thick, sticky and quite soft. Taste is intense berries and almost chocolaty coffee. Leaves an aftertaste of berry, lingers for ages
