Poured from 375mL bottle. Ruby red with no head. Nice vanilla overlay on jammy marionbeery. Very nice.

375 mL bottle poured as part of the Mariners playoffs series. Dark and dense ruby appearance. No head. Tons of vanilla and jammy berries. Tart and sweet both, with vanilla and honey splitting the headlining role, with red berry supporting. Slick taste, really easy drinking mead. Excellent brew, and unique for my usual drink. Awesome.

Bottle. A- Vanilla, dark forest berries. A- Dark garnet color, clear liquid, no head. T- Blackberry, blueberry, grape, jammy, vanilla. P- Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation, jammy finish. O- Lovely lovely mixed berries with the right touch of vanilla holding it all together seemlessly. Almost port wine like. Got this for a super good deal and should've bought too. Just a delight

Berry forward, heavy vanilla flavor, dry finish from the tannins. Not super sweet.

Pours a very dark, purple brown. Scent is intense, similar to marion, but with an 'ice cream' touch (makes sence, since vanilla is used in ice cream) , an intense sipper. Taste is very full, intesne vanilla (ice cream) over a tad sharp, yet very sweet and mellow fruity base. Medium alcohol touch, full fruity ending, which is overtaken by vanilla in the later finish. Strongly so ! Awesome mead indeed.

Bottle shared at anti-carnavalstasting. Dark red color, quite thin texture. Cherries, intense sort of purified forest fruit. Alright but not as thick as I would have liked. Ok though.
