Clear 375ml bottle from Webb Chapel Beer. 13.8% edition. Stemless wine glass back at the bnb. Clear, iced tea-colored pour. Unintentional bubbles. Smell is rich with unfermented honey, wax & soft apple. I don't get cranberry yet. Taste is deliciously tart yet sweet & rich. Plenty more honey then their usual blends, the cranberry remains soft & juicy, never biting. Touch of smoke, & botcheted honey with the cranberry never really going away. Great acid that never breaks through the sugar. There could be some potential oxidation after all that, but I don't care. Full, rich, sharp, sticky, easy sipper. One of the best American meads I've had. Awesome.

375mL bottled April 2019, drunk 7/2/22, thanks AFhops! Honey golden. Is there coconut here?? Smells like a light mead with soft honey. There is zero coconut here. But it's a nice, syrupy, rich mead. But...probably should have some coconut in your coconut mead.

Bottled 2019. V 3. The appearance is clear with some coconut flakes floating around. Even with the coconut flakes floating around, I couldn’t smell or taste coconut. I guess coconut fades in mead like it does in beer. Disappointed.

Bottle pour @TreeRock. Deep, dark, Shiraz pour. Fruity red wine nose. Unsweetened cherry juice, dried blueberries. Fruity merlot/shiraz. Lots of sangria without the added sugar. Dry, tart, thin super astringent but not really all that sour. Alcohol wasn't a concern. Honey is lost. More juice than mead. It was okay.
