Ultra-deep imperial purple. Chocolate, dark berries, fusels. Even a tad vinous (fortified). Sweet, sourish lining and some alcoholpunch. Blackberry pie on the next level. Ultra slick to oily, voluptuous, rich, lipsmacking sweetness (yes!). Fantastic fruitbomb.

Bottle shared at work. Nem volna ez rossz (igy sem az igazabol), de a cherry bitter ranyomja a belyeget az egeszre, olcso booz jellege lesz tole, fajon mu-meggy izu. Kar, mert ezt leszamitva a bourbon es mead karaktere teljesen oke.

Bottle shared at work. Minden aspektusaban rendben van, kellemes a hordozas, az alap massziv, edeskes, de nem gejl, kellemesen szaraz lecsengessel.

Bottle 77/150. Deep golden colour. Aroma is medicinal and like a Lush soap shop two days before Xmas. Spicy, sweet, medicinal, sickly. Aftertaste is also similarly awful. Didn't notice this was winter spiced when I parted with my money :-(

Pours clear coppergold. Scent is full, thick and juicy, peachy, but balanced. Noticeable intensity, but not insane purity such as the over the top American greats. Taste is sweet, fairly thick, honey taste still quite intense indeed. Peach more than noticeable , this is really a 50/50 story. Quite a good mead yet again .

Pours a dark pink, clear. Scent is dry, mild fruityness. Muld berry touch. Taste is off-dry to dry, some red fruit. Fairly thin - which can be expected for a session mead- and fairly simple fruityness (red fruits, but a bit unconvincing) . Apparently made to be like a rosé wine, but it's not dry enough, not complex or fine enough, and not refreshing enough to do that trick to me. Also, though it's fairly thin, it still has a certain oilyness to it I wouldn't expect or tollerate in rosé wine. For a mead on the other hand (what it actually is) It is a bit too dry for me, and not powerfull enough. Other session meads I had really made the fruit pop, here it remains more in the background. Well made, i'm sure, but this concept didn't really work for me.

Pours clear blonde. Scent is full, apples, funky honey. Taste is full, sharp, honey, funky. Noticeable alcohol and apples.
Dun, licht, zoet, niet werelds maar ook niet slecht..
