Honey flavor with unusual black tea flavor. Nice going down, the palate for me is unusual. Very interesting and complex.

500ml bottle from Appalachian. Duvel glass @home. Amber gold, seltzer head, a little jellied. Cheap booze, cherry juice, crap apple juice, odd barrel smells. Taste is spicy lemon honey, whiskey, brown sugar, corn, bitter liqueur, warming, spice, grain sweet finish. Soft to no carbonation. Seriously boozy. Rather have Zombie Killer.

Aus der Flasche im 2022-05 getrunken. Dieses Met mit Himbeeren und Schwarzen Johannisbeeren kommt mit einer kräftiger Rotfärbung daher. Am Gaumen hat es einen kräftigen Körper mit einer gelungenen Harmonie der Aromen des Honig und den Früchten aber auch zwischen Fruchtsäure und die Süße des Honig. Ein tolles Met!

Both flavors and aromas are a nice blend of slightly tart cider with slightly tart cherries that complement each other very well. Great body and carbonation with a finished that follows flavors. Super drinkable.

Bottle, backlog April 2014. Clear pale golden/straw yellow body without any head. Floral aroma, mild honey, some citric fruit. Taste is sweet, fruity and floral with a fine combination of honey, mango and pepper without anything steeling the show. Nice body and same aftertaste. (2022 edit: Slightly unusually for the time being but perhaps just a bit in front of their time.)

12 ounce can from Ridgeview Liquor, 2/26/22. Clear red, not much of a head. Aroma of berry and mint. Comes across as toothpaste. Not good. Taste is berry, bitter mint. Thankfully better balanced, but still too minty. Thin. Not good.
