Bottle at home. Burnt gold colored. Ode is sticky sweet Cinnabon’s. Tastes very similar with honey and vanilla frosting. Maybe some maple syrup thrown in. Too sweet for my liking.

Bottle. A- Graham crackers, coconut, vanilla. A- Gold color, clear liquid, no head. T- Graham crackers, coffee, slightly earthy, coconut, cream. P- Light body, average texture, high carbonation, slightly unbalanced finish. O- This definitely tasted like coconut cream pie. The coffee is fairly strong as well in it. I get a cream cheese like flavor that I seem to get with all carbonated meads from Crafted. That detracts a bit from the overall experience. Very good all things considered.

(Thanks, Jeremy! JStax) Bottle. A- Strawberry candy, mild rubbing alcohol, subtle oak. A- Copper color, clear liquid, no head. T- Strawberry candy, honey, ethanol, very subtle spicy oak. P- Medium body, average texture, flat carbonation, boozy finish. O- This was great but not near as good as some of the other Barrel Aged still meads I've had from Crafted. The strawberry is not as lucious as I'd like. It was too candy like. Like those strawberry candies your grandparents used to have. A tad bit boozier than I wanted. Great mead but not quite there for me to really be wowed by this one.

Bottle from Covenhoven. Tasty Beverage glass @ home. Clear, rich, golden brew. Weak addition of bubbles. Smells of maple, apple malt beverage, muted cinnamon something, Woodchuck cider flavorings. Taste is faintly tart apple essence upfront, maple syrup, unfermented honey, faded cinnamon & toffee candies as you push through. Syrupy & barely tart. Sweetness lingers on the lips. Somewhat fake & really not that well done.

Clear pale yellow color with a minimal white head that burns away quickly to a sparse outer ring. Spotty legs on the glass. Aroma of apples and cinnamon. Light to medium body with flavors of spiced apples and honey. The finish is sweet with a cinnamon apple pie aftertaste. Pretty good all around.
