750 ml corked bottle. Pours still copper. Aroma is vinegar, coffee and that’s about it. Taste is a little rotten; tastes a little like black coffee spiked with fermented honey; raisins come out as it warms. Mouthfeel is syrupy like any mead should be. I’ve had a lot better, that is for certain.

At vintage estate. Brownish and clear. Smells like sweet bubble gum. Dee-lish honey with a slight warming effect. Fun & easy. smooth and like able. Lovely, best of the meads that I can remeber.
