(Thanks, Jeremy JStax) Bottle. A- Earthy, ashy, coffee grounds. A- Yellow color, clear liquid, no head. T- Coffee, mild sweetness, cream cheese. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, astringent finish. O- I do actually get a cream cheese flavor in here but the nose is too earthy vegetal coffee for me. Wanted a much sweeter dessert like flavor from this but just didn't get it. Much prefer the still meads.

(Thanks, Jeremy JStax) Bottle. A- Nutty, ash. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Peanut butter, banana, cream, ashy. P- Medium body, fizzy texture, high carbonation, complex finish. O- So much potential here but something was off for me. Had a strong ashy character to it that ruined the banana and peanut butter flavors. The peanut butter was very nutty. Wanted to love it and liked it alright but not quite there for me on this one.

(Thanks, Jeremy JStax) Bottle. A- Lavender, vanilla, honey, french perfume. A- Pale yellow color, clear liquid, no head. T- Lavender, vanilla, mild alcohol. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly sweet finish. O- The lavender and vanilla in here are the perfect match for a quality mead. Some might be turned off as it gives a strong perfume like characteristic but I really enjoyed this. Great stuff.

Bottle shared by JStax, thanks Jeremy. Tanner mentioned the aroma was odd. It kind of is. Flavor shows mild orange, mild vanilla. Hints of the honey. OK as far as mead goes.

Bottle shared by JStax, thanks Jeremy. Flavor shows black currants, blackberry nuances. Some hints of jam. Has a low tartness that is balanced by the honey. I also love the name and description. Well played!
