Neutral classic european base mead. The bourbon gives a nice oaky addition without any booziness. Sk lb

Power tasting at Matt's slaughterhouse, corked bottle
Amber colour with faint red hue. Weird aroma (not bad): cheese, strawberries, white chocolate. Very sweet, syrupy, so the alcohol is welcome, white chocolate, strawberry syrup.
A bit weird, but enjoyable.

375ml @ Matt's parents' place with a scenic view. Appearance: clear copper. Aroma: boozy sugared strawberries. Taste: extremely sweet, quite boozy, finishes with lots of strawberries. Overall: very nice, but it got a bit too much on the sweetness and booze side.

Poured from 375mL bottle. Amber orange with no head. Aroma has tons of strawberry. Taste of chocolate, strawberry, booze. Actually decent.

Tasting at Matt's, bottle
Light colour, almost water. It has some of those estery dry German mead aroma and flavour, wax, but the little carbonation and sweetness make of this a pleasant product.

750mL bottle, pours a clear pale blonde with a quickly-receding white head. Nose is full of champagne-like effervescence, gentle honey, and some wildflower notes. Flavour follows suit, with a really nice champagne funk, wildflower honey, some honeysuckle, and a nice dried out barnyard character. Bright and boozy, with a nice champagne-like crispness. Very good.

750ml at Matt's amenity room. Appearance: almost transparent with a weak head. Aroma: fermented honey, yeasts, some champagne notes. Taste: along the same lines, very carbonated (well, what would one expect? :) ). Overall: interesting.

Very pale and sparkling. Has a bit of a champagne yeast aroma, But on the palate, it's just really sweet, kind of a basic honey note, so I'd like for it to finish dry, but it doesn't. I'd say it's more an interesting experiment than anything else.

Sampled at Prairie Bee, pours a clear pale pink. Aroma smells like chocolate covered strawberries and alcohol. Flavour is exceedingly rich and intense, with huge alcohol, chocolate, strawberry treacle. Damn, that is intense. Boozy and hot, but delicious flavours.
