0.375 l bottle shared with Pero! Clear purple. Lots of black currant, blackberry, dark fruit jam, some candy, some glue. Heavy red wine appears. Smooth, slick, sticky, prickly, sour fruit, sugary sweetness. Very drinkable. Dangerous. Very warming.

Bottle. A- Mild florals, mild honey. A- Gold color, clear liquid, no head. T- Floral, mild honey, mild black pepper, very subtle mango. P- Light body, average texture, flat carbonation, light finish. O- I've come to determine that B. Nektar is highly overrated. Not terrible but not worth the hype. I got the honey and black pepper and it came across as a nicely put together floral perfume, but little mango and just not that exciting. Actually, I say they're overrated but truthfully I think I am underrating it as I drink it longer.

Bottle from Covenhoven a few months back. Sat in the fridge for more than a bit. NB glass @ home. Clear, oily, golden elixer that plops & glugs out the bottle like apple juice. Spells like apricot potpourri & boxed apple juice. Taste is decent, but sweeter than expected. Rich mango & dried apricot with some faded pepper. Very syrupy, but the sweetness is fruity & doesn't linger too much. Too sweet for a whole bottle even at 500ml, but it isn't offensive & the flavors work.

Half liter bottle from Tadychs Iron Mountain, 10/16/20. Clear deep red, thin white head, poor retention. Aroma of tart strawberry, cranberry. Taste is honey, vanilla, tart strawberry. Medium bodied, tart. A strawberry bomb just like I was hoping for. Nice session strenth mead.

Bottle. Pours a hydrated pee with no head whatsoever. Aroma has dry honey and dry apple with a bit of flora underlying. Flavor has a bit more of a sweet honey with growing dry apple and a light hint of flora.
