Mar 27, 2008 Thanks for LordErasmus for sharing this treasure. A mead of gigantic proportions, with lots of ginger on the nose (somewhat less so in the body). Tons of sweet elixir flavor. A warming treat at 19% - you can taste the alcohol, for sure.

Mar 21, 2008 This corked ceramic bottled mead from a bottle shop poured a head of medium sized clear colored bubbles that were quickly diminishing and left behind a transparent uncarbonated light yellow-orange colored body and a oily lacing. The aroma was honey and ginger. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a strong vinous aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of mild spice sweet vinous honey and ginger. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again.

Mar 9, 2008 bottle Ft Wayne tasting courtesy of thedm and hotstuff, who could easily start a site called ratemead.com - This golden liquid has a honey and alcohol aroma. The flavor is heavy on the sweet honey with some herbal notes. It’s definitely warming as one would expect from 19% abv. The mouthfeel is almost syrupy and the finish continues to be sweet. Enjoy it for dessert or late in the evening as you would a port.

Mar 4, 2008 Bottle: Courtesy of thedm and hotstuff at the locals tasting. Golden pour, no head. Herbal honey and ginger aroma with some slight "hot" touches to it. Very smooth body even though the ethyl was coming through in droves. Floral, herbal honey flavor with some of the ginger notes coming through. A bit hot right now, but still mighty fine.

Dec 22, 2007 This is a metheglin style mead, spiced with ginger and hops. Pours brilliantly clear, medium gold. No head, it is a still beverage. Aroma is big ginger, some honey, and hints of hops. Alcohol is also apparent. Flavor is big ginger upfront, with nice honey character, and a good hop background. Body is medium, and finish is well balanced between ginger and honey.
