Poured at Vintag Estates, nice place. What can I say, this is wine. Darker pale yellow. Aroma is sweet. First taste is quite strong and winelike. Sweet mouthcoating wine, viscous to an extent. No carbonation, just flat wine. Of course honey prominent. A little meaty. Better than many beers. Finish is typical and the same as many sweet wines.

Courtesy of sebletitje. Pours clear copper with thin off white head. The aroma is sweetness of honey, apple, cinnamon, caramel and vague spices. Now that I have read the label it must be ginger spice I’m getting. The taste is smooth rich honey sweetness and somewhat thin. I get more honey, sweet malts, a thin layer of caramel and a sense of booze as the experience progresses. Into the finish it ends with the addition of apples and herbs.

pours copper, beige head. Interesting braggot, as it pours very beer like, yet retains many good aspects. Aroma had plenty of ginger with a touch of honey sweetness. Taste, lots of ginger, finish had something unique that i can’t pinpoint. Ends with some caramel malts. Very drinkable.

ceramic large bottle at home. pours dark orange, no head. spritty, sweetish apricot aroma. i’d say it is a little too spritty, and i miss some honey. the apricot is real nice. flavor is sweet fruity honey, spicy flowery from the hibiscus, burns from the alc. flavor is unusually well balanced for a mead, slight citrussy or flowery notes balance the sweetness. palate is thick, but not too thick. overall a good mead, but i think it is a little bit to stingy from the alc, and perhaps also from the herbs.

Taste is very sweet medium malt-caramel/honey, secondary herbal/spice hops. Old Ale meets Boppelbock. Not a session beer for me, but quite enjoyable. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for picking this out.

Ceramic bottle. 3 year old bottle. Thanks to Bluntaholic. Pours a clear golden color with no head or lacings. Nose and taste is sweet of honey, wood, vanilla, orange, and alcohol. It seems somehow rounded and mellowed out. Warmth and some alcohol. Quite sippable.
