Bottle received in trade. Thank you Clownoisseur. Pours very deep ruby red leaving some subtle legs on the glass. Smell is fruity and hammy with honey, currant, blackberries, cherries, blueberries, pollen, moist soil and hints of alcohol. Taste is sweet, slightly sour and fruity. Mouthfeel is round, oily, boozy and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and sour with honey, currants, cherries, blueberries, moist soil, lemon peal and hints of alcohol. Nice fruity mead which reminds me of a more simplistic Schramm’s HoD or Sahtipaja MeadMe. The 16% abv are nowhere to be seen.
