Bottle from the source. Brilliantly clear deep golden color with faint legs. Fruity spicy sweet honey aroma. Honey up front in the flavor with bits of earthy chocolate and warming heat that builds midway and lingers into the finish. Not too hot, but the chocolate was a bit subdued.

Bottle from the source. Brilliantly clear deep purple. Beautiful nose of tart berry and light sweet honey. Somewhat dry and almost puckering with the tart berry and tannins. IMHO this needs a bit of sweetness to round it out completely.

Bottle from the source. Brilliantly clear light golden color with a smattering of bubbles on the surface. Vinous light honey fairly dry. Decent but a bit dry for my tastes.

Thank you for sharing tderoeck! Sampled draft @ VCBF 2017. Clear orange, small white head. Nose is interesting sour barrel, tropical fruit, darker bread funk,... Taste is sour rye bread, huge sour grape, lovely funk, ceral, puckering oak, really interesting, expected a higher score on here. Interesting malts, good funk, sour with bit fruit. Really nice, bread & sour wine body.

Bottle drunk 5/20/17.
Amber-golden with a good clarity and strong viscosity.
Spice, bourbon and maple rise up in the nose buoyed-on by the backing honey to create a lightly rich nose that shows just a hint of red fruits and light pepper with long molasses, buttercream and maple on the finish and quite low alcohol apparency.
Didn’t realize this was Utopias cask-aged, and while you do get lots of spice, wood, whiskey and port, it’s not particularly obvious that there was beer in here (I guess it’s not particularly obvious that Utopias is a beer, either). Raisin, vanilla and maple provide, rich, chewy, decadent flavors and the mead is sweet, not too much so, with a good viscosity that stops well-short of being syrupy or cloying. Soft oak lingers. Nice.

11/VI/17 - from bottle @ Vleteren Craft Beer Festival - BB: n/a (2017-902) Thanks to 77ships and kraddel for sharing today's beers!
Little hazy pale yellow cider, no head. Aroma: lots of apple juice, sweet, not much else, hint of honey. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: lots and lots of apple juice, pretty sweet, some green apples giving it a sourish touch. Aftertaste: bit lemony, acidic, more apple juice, that's pretty much it.
