Pours very water like, slightly hazed, lightest shade of yellow. Scent is rough on the honey, fairly hiding the barrel. Taste is smoother than expected, very funky honey, raw and rough, tad drying though it's clearly sweet. Not getting the barrel, really, and to my surprise I enjoyed the dry version (11, on oak and vanilla) more. Guess they used honey is less to my liking ? Very rough and raw, perhaps some wild yeasts as well ?

26 April 2022. At Hal 16 (Dok Brewing). Shared with the lovely Anke!
Clear very pale yellow, no head. Aroma of vanilla, cream, plum, honey, almond. Taste has very sweet plum & apricot, bit spicy, creamy honey. White-peppery finish, sweet dried fruits, woody vanilla and warming bourbon. Medium boy, oily texture, soft carbonation. Quite tasty, even though there's not that much to it.

4/V/22 - on tap @ DOK Brewing Company (Gent), BB: n/a (2022-479)
Clear pale yellow mead, no head. Aroma: a bit malty, yeasty, barnyard, very rural impression. MF: soft to no carbon, medium body. Taste: soft to no carbon, medium body. Taste: honey, a bit sweet, sugary, lots of alcohol, more honey, decent! Aftertaste: honey, sugary, a bit watery, bitter, some orange peel, oxidized, herbal touch, ok, but not great.
