Bottle. A clear, dark amber, almost brown actually, mead with no carbonation. Oily. The aroma has lots of Christmas spices, cardamom the most evident, rum raisins blends in. The honey is left in the background. The flavor is pretty much the same, the honey is left in the background with the spices dominating. Spiced mead is fine, but I like the honey to do the major work. Quite warming, full-bodied mouthfeel, with a spiced finish where honey sweetness do some work. A quite nice one, but too spiced. 100813
