Bottle, at Patrick's. A clear one, deep golden to copper in color, still and headless, lightly oily. Intense aroma with honey and caramel and a bit too much alcohol. Some flowery notes, cellar and a light mushroom hint. It's oily and full bodied, warming and sweet on the palate, with lots of caramel flavor. Honey, flower, cellar and heavy caramel sauce. Hints of dried fruit and a good dash of alcohol. Some oak notes. Lasting finish. Wouldn't mind having this one at a bit lower ABV, on the other hand that might remove some of the character. Nice anyway. 230316

Bottle @ Patricks. Clear, slightly oily, brown/mahogany body under a few, short living bubbles against the glass. Aroma has honey, dry fruit, hint of wood and slightly spicy. Taste is sweet, smooth honey, dark fruit, dry fruit, wood, sherry and a slightly touch of acidic berries. Full bodied with long lasting, pleasant aftertaste. Nice, complex, balanced and surprisingly easy drinkable mead.
