Bottle @ Eiber fest. Pours a deep ruby brown body. Aroma's: dried fruity, sweet, retronasal the pepper is noticeable. Flavour is sweet, fruity, light sour. Slightly dry mouthfeel, like red wine. Finishes dry. I'm not an experienced mead drinker (at all), but this is very nice.

Bottle sampled at Eiber festival. Clear deep ruby. Massive black currant, blackberries, honey, dry fruit skins, tannins. Quite sweet, light bitter and sour. Full bodied. Great.

Bottle shared at Meadfest #2 by the man himself ! Thnx ! Pours brownred. Scent is full on fruity, candy, complex. Mild acidity from the fruits shine trough. Taste is full, intense fruityness. Harsh acidic back, pulling the mead into better balance than usually is found in the Low countries' meads. Ingredients are hard to destinguish, but do make a great blend indeed !

Meadvent calendar 21. Dark red, viscous. Smell is lots of berries, clear currant. Light yet fairly sticky body. Taste is a bit confused, berries at first but quickly turns dry and the pepper arrives. Out of balance, weird, bit of a pity. Don't hate it tho
