On tap at Zymarium, pours a clear orange, no head. Aroma is dominated by the coffee upfront, with floral notes and light honey. Flavour has a nice blend of honey and coffee — the bitter earthiness from the coffee juxtaposes nicely with the honey. Complex and refined. Excellent.

On tap at Zymarium (as “Haunted Grove” for Halloween), pours a clear pale golden, no head. Aroma is dominated by wood but I wouldn't have identified amburana — the honey seems fermented out. Flavour is totally dominate by the amburana but, again, not in a way I would've clearly identified; there's tons of booze, old oak, floral blossom honey, and finishing boozy, woody and sweet.

On tap at Zymarium, pours a clear bright amber orange, no head. Aroma smells like a mead version of a baklava indeed, with pistachios, honey nectar, and a touch of cardamom. Flavour follows suit, with tons of pistachios upfront, mixed well with the honey, cardamom and a light floral character. Rich, balanced and unique. Excellent.

On tap at Zymarium, pours a hazy golden, no head. Aroma is a wonderful mix of honey nectar, cinnamon, a little nutmeg, ginger and clove. Flavour is sweeter than expected from the nose, with tons of sweet nectary honey, and a nice melange of the aforementioned spices. Not the most elegant, as it is a bit cloying even for a sweet mead, but it's tasty in tiny amounts.

On tap at Zymarium, pours a clear rusted reddish brown with a tiny beige head. Aroma is strange, with a vegetal, hibiscus character upfront and fermented out honey. Flavour is more dominated by the sugars, somewhat fermented out honey, hibiscus and clove. I can't shake the vegetal character, almost celery-like on the finish. It's decent but not striking the notes I want.

On tap at Zymarium, pours a cloudy orange with almost no head. Aroma is very pithy, bringing out pulpy lychee and a weird earthiness. Flavour is exceedingly sweet, tasting like lychee syrupy out of a can and maybe a touch of honey. This doesn't work for me at all.

On tap at Zymarium, pours a clear pale golden orange with a tiny white head. Nose is dry, with totally fermented out honey and a light champagne-like effervescence. Flavour is bone dry and spritzy, with fermented out honey that's barely detectable as honey and a club soda-like character. Dry and ultimately boring but fine.

375ml bottle pours out golden. Nose is sweet banana cinnamon honey fresh toast wow. Taste is more of the nice sweet honey maple syrup cinnamon toast crunch and some bourbon barrel.

Can. Pours black with blue head that lasts. The aroma is granola, ube, marshmallow fluff, honey, tea. Slick body; similar flavors to nose, nice sweetness, cereal wheat, enjoyed this.

Berries galore, berries for days, wrapped in delicious bourbon oak and vanilla hints. Jamminess dominates with hints of Blanton's and EC fun.
