Half liter bottle from Beer Run. Oh my that’s purple! Pours a clear purple color with thin wisp of a head. Lots of visible carbonation. Intense berry aroma with some earthy and clove notes. The taste is strong cloves, grapes, blackberries, mild honey. For a mead, you can hardly detect any honey. The clove is in strong danger of being over-much.

Bottle courtesy of tkrjukoff. Pours clear pale golden with no head worth mentioning. Smell is sweet and surprisingly enough slightly smoky with honey, vanilla, cinnamon, salami, alcohol, sweet rye bread, dried flovers and hints of aspartame. Taste is sweet with crackers, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, alcohol, charred wood and floral perfume. Mouthfeel is sticky sweet, clogging, boozy and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and very tiny bitter with honey, vanilla, cinnamon, charred wood, butterscotch hard candy and sweet bread. very much over the top. Almost crippling sweet with a strange combination of salami and very sweet vanilla candies. --- Beer merged from original tick of B. Nektar Vanilla Cinnamon Mead on 02 Mar 2018 at 11:20 - Score: 5

375 ml bottle received in trade. Thank you lionsandbeer! Pours cloudy golden with no head worth mentioning. Smell is sweet and tiny sour with buttery crackers, high quality honey, alcohol, white bread, charred wood, dew and hints of lemon grass and lemon zest. Taste is very sweet with tons and tons of high quality honey, alcohol, buttery crackers, vanilla essence, charred wood, moist moss, orange zest, lemon grass and even more honey. Mouthfeel is sticky sweet, slightly clogging, slightly boozy and near full bodied. Finish is sweet with honey, buttered crackers, hay, lemon grass, charred wood, vanilla and alcohol. Huge in every way, concentrated tasty high quality honey. Very tasty but I would have a hard time finishing more than a small glass of this. --- Beer merged from original tick of B.

Bottle. Sweet fruit candy aroma... I agree with the raters who indicate Jolly Rancher. Clear pale yellow. Sweet floral fruity white grape flavor. Light body. Too sweet for my personal taste, and just not all that interesting.

Bottle. Should be interesting. Pours with a clear yellow hued body. Sparkling, minimal head formation (white). Aromas are of black pepper (strong and fresh, almost cedar like) dominant, citrusy, light mango, fresh cut grass, light hay, floral honey. Unique. Flavors are medium sweet, apple esters, a lot of black pepper, cedar, spice, fruity mango, applesauce, honey, floral, baked apple. Medium body, high carbonation, low warmth. Unique, playful, not nearly as good as some of their other stuff (in my opinion).
