Sample courtesy of JPDurden24 pours dark berry juice in color. The aroma offers up sweet rich honey sweetened berry goodness that’s on the wow! side of things. The taste is pleasingly similar with rich nectar like honey sweetened raspberry fruit where you can taste several raspberry fruit nuances like the skin, seeds and meat. Wow. Great tasting rich berry mead that doesn’t reach HoD richness and depth but heads in that direction. Yummy.

Sample courtesy of JPDurden24 and a bottle courtesy of my sister 15_2_Kuhnhenn. It pours with a dark pink to violet colored body that exhibits some nice legginess. The aroma offers up nectar sweet dark berries and then crazy berry goodness wow! Pretty rich aroma of berry goodness and whiffs of slick sweetness. The taste is similar with lovely nectar like berry richness and sweet smooth nearly silky modest honey backbone. This is sweet smooth goodness where a mild cherry tannin like tartness creates a crisper dryer finish. This isn’t a big rich sweet sweet sipper but berry juice, some honey and a bit of berry tartness. Lovely statement.

Sample courtesy of JPDurden24 and a bottle courtesy of my sister 15_2_Kuhnhenn. It pours with a clear watery body that has a light yellow tint to it and it creates some nice legginess around the inside of the glass. The aroma offers up bright ginger and then smooth honey sweetened ginger followed by a honey note that carries a vague fruitiness along with it. The taste is smooth sweet yummy honey goodness that has tempered and blunted the ginger into a slick even inviting note. It is like the smooth honey notes have filled in every gap around the spiky ginger flavor peaks leaving a silky smoothness that I’m really enjoying. I’m not a fan of ginger anything but in this smooth subtle rich fashion . . . this works. Wow!

Bottle @ Armin’s palace, thanks to Steve_0. Big thanks! Pours a deep reddish purple appearances with no head. Goopy rich blackberry, cranberry, honey, huge fruity aroma. Thick raspberry, blackberry, syrupy honey, fairly sweet and tart flavor. Quite nice.
