Bottle sample at Moonlight Meadery, pours a clear pinkish red with a tiny pinkish head. Aroma brings out tart red currants, with some apple skins and subdued honey sweetness. Flavour is medium-heavy sweet, with lots of black currants, light tartness from the apples, and heavy sweet honey. This is wonderfully concocted. Excellent.

Bottle from the source. Brilliantly clear amber orange color with light to moderate legs. Huge apple and light brown sugar on the nose with a touch of sherry and some deep tart fruity currant to counter. The flavor up front is all apple and sherry with hints of brown sugar. A bit of honey peaks through midway, but its not sweet enough to quell the onslaught of tart currant. This finishes a bit vinous and a little tart. Pretty tasty beverage, the wave of flavors are well done, but I’m not sure that it all meshes well together.
