[Bottle] Pours a flat golden honey color. Very berry aroma with some sweet honey. Lots of chokecherry and golden raisin flavor. A bit dry, boozy, and slightly grapey.

Bottle. No head (still). Body is clear dark yellow. Aroma is notes of floral honey, alcohol, hint of vinegar. Flavor is heavily sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is moderately sweet, lightly acidic. Medium to full body, syrupy texture, flat carbonation, moderately to heavily alcoholic, lightly astringent. Pretty much the reverse (minor) complaint I have with Jadwiga...here, the nose is pretty simple (and thankfully the initial hint of vinegar seems to disappear as it breathes), but the flavor balance is quite nice for a dessert mead (very sweet, yes, but still quite drinkable). The alcohol is clean, non-fusel. Would never guess there are spices added, though...pretty much just alcoholed honey and little else to my nose...pleasant enough but relatively unexciting.

Golden colored with no head. Strongly sweet aroma with honey of course, mild alcohol with thin vanilla and flowers also here. Medium bodied. Flavor is also dominated by strong and sweet honey, when compared to jadwiga this is way sweeter. Still some berries and alcohol in flavor, I like this one. Aftertaste is warm with mild alcohol.

pours clear amber with no head. nutty aroma, with a bradyish kind of sweetness. honey sweet flavor spiced with cherries? it ha s a thick, brandy like finish, which would be good if you were drinking thick brandy. too sweet for me. it must be the chokeberries. whatever they are.
