Bottled. A deep red mead. The aroma has lovely notes of cranberries and honey. The flavor is both sweet and acidic from the cranberries with strong notes of cranberries as well as medium notes of alcohol and honey.

Blech, not a fan of mead. Sooo ungodly sweet, I get diabetes just looking at it. So sweet it hurts, but the cranberry helps mellow things out, sort of.
