Bottle. Poured clear golden color with good legs. Heavy floral, tea and alcohol aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture. Medium balanced spicy flavor with a medium to heavy sweet spicy finish of moderate to long duration. Complex standout mead.

May 13, 2008 This was also quite delicious. A bit of an herbal astrigency in the nose, and some heat from the alcohol. not as sweet as some of the others, more off dry and bittersweet, but very nice lignering spices throughout, still quite delightful and great with thai food.

Apr 28, 2008 20070303 750ml bottle. Oh, it’s this. I still have this bottle in the closet and it’s got a good 4oz of mead in it. Sweet, spicy, full bodied, and rich. Like a nice, spicy, herbal tea with herby, floral honey. Medium alcoholic heat. Thanks Jim (I think)!

Mar 14, 2008 Bottle that shows 12%ABV at bdigi66’s. Transparent and a clear hue. Nose was honey, sweet, cinammon, some spice notes, and alcohol. Flavor was sweet, honey, cinammon, tart, and finishes dry. Tingly, dry mouthfeel and medium body. Different tasting from other meads that I have rated, better meads to be had IMO, and not one that I liked enough to want to have again.

Feb 1, 2008 This is better than Iqhilika’s hot mead. This is a still liquid, with a yellow color that reminded me of a urine sample. The nose has lots of raw honey, with some perfume and cinnimon heat that was not necessarily pleasant. I got the requisite honey sweetness, with flowers, cinnimon heat, some citrus and wet wood in the taste. Really not my kind of mead. Thanks to thedm and Hotstuff for sharing.
