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.

I can see why they called it old fashion, lots of bourbon notes mixed with lots of citrus honey notes. Bit of boozy heat on the finish in a fantastic way. I love traditionals and I love this bourbon hit of one.

Bottle acquired in the back of the Zymarium parking lot. It was a liability to let us in so close to opening without an official permit. Sat on the shelf for about a year. Shig's cider mead tasting. Had to convince Jamie to stick around for one more before slinking away. We were a little toasty & tired by this point. Dark cherry juice, ruby, some highlights, can't tell if it's clear; still. Dense cherry juice, pithy, sharp, rich honey vanilla nose. Taste is pretty sweet cherry jam, faded/mellow pie spice, vanilla & lemon, light oak, bitter skin, so heavy. Strong tartness down the middle. Very integrated cinnamon, which I think is a good thing. Less distinct honey than some other Zymarium stuff, just runny & sweet. Though it is better then the other endless varieties I've tried which were all too sweet. Lovely.
