Bottled, thanks fiulijn! Bright golden, no head. Citric honey aroma without a trace of chili. While the habanero chilit totaly overwhelms the honey sweetness, it still remains interesting as an experimental drink. Not exactly refreshing or thirst quenching. But the flavour is actually quite nice. Just stock up on a nice pilseners or something to wash it down with.

Bottle shared by me at MaxxDaddy’s tasting. Pours clear gold. Nose/taste of honey, coffee and chili pepper. Slightly vegetal on the nose from the chili. Initial honey sweetness on the palate is followed by increasing chili heat. Medium body.

Bottled, thanks fiulijn. Pours clear pale amber, no head. Distinct coffee aromas comes through amongst honey and dry white wine. Rather slender and citric. Mint, orange, blueberries and coffee - tangerines and white wine in a slightly warming finish. Nicely drinkable mead.
