Sampled from a 750 ml bottle this mead poured a dark golden color with no head and no lacing. The aroma was off with honey and tannin but no pear. The flavor was tangy with honey, orange blossom, pear and an off note and tannin. Medium length finish. Full bodied. Not good.

Bottle via a trade with TheCheeseman. Pours a clear red, no head, minimal legs, Aroma of cherry, plum, orange blossom honey, caramel, rose petals, wine tannins and alcohol. Taste is sweet with some bitterness and tannins, cherry skin, menthol, and rose. Syrupy, no carbonation.

Another big thanks to mcbackus for bringing this wonderful mead. Pours a cloudy garnet with zero head. The aroma is somewhere between big and huge with fruity berries and wine grapes. An inviting elixir that beckons to be consumed. The taste is just like the aroma with big smooth berriness, red wine and tartness. The finish is dry and very nice.
