Bottle @ Saturday night tasting - The Stein & Vine. Thanks Tchaos. Pâle-doré, fine effervescence. Arôme d’ananas en retrait avec ce bouquet assez organique de miel. Le tout restant assez traditionnel. Palais est épais-cloying, alcool perce bien avec une impression médicinale venant des houblons. Effervescence reste légère pour un fini sec. Encore un hydromel qui passe bien avec l’usage des houblons.

bottle at Ft Wayne tasting, Sept 2013 - Pours a light yellow/straw color and has a rich honey aroma. It’s sweet with very light carbonation. A slight hint of hops comes through in the finish. Good mead.

22oz bomber to snifter. Dark brown: looks and smells like root beer; head sparse and quickly gone. Only my second mead. After the root beer aroma, I expected a soda pop taste...yes, the root beer and some sweetness hits the palate, but quickly changes to a wintergreen buzz...no syrupy, sugary aftertaste. This is definitely not your Dad’s Root Beer (pun for those who recognize this old brand)! The flavor grew on me as I shared the bomber.

Bottle thanks to badnewsbeers.Has a completely useless cork that disintegrates upon contact with any corkscrew or port cork puller. I really hope they aren’t serious with this name. Pours with a hazed bronze body with cork particles floating on top. Some legs. Aroma of musty, cork, honey, raisins, dried lavender. Flavors are dry, a bit musty, raisins, spice, light wood (or cork, not really sure), fig, christmas pudding, persimmons, honey. Somewhat tannic/bitter finish. Medium to heavy sweetness. Light spice notes. Pretty decent. Weighty mouthfeel. Somewhat abrupt finish.
