Mar 23, 2006 2006 Intl Mead Fest.
No head (still).
Body is light yellow.
Aroma is notes of honey, vanilla, sherry, wood, flowers.
Flavor is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic.
Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately acidic.
Light to medium body, watery texture, flat carbonation, lightly to moderately alcoholic.
Yes, it’s a dry mead, and that’s a shame because the aroma is beautiful. The thing is, I just don’t enjoy dry meads (just as I’m not big on dry Riesling). If you do, ignore my flavor/mouthfeel score and check this out. If the aroma of this sample was typical (and judging from the overall average so far, it may not be), I would love it if they would age/oak their sweet mead this way (which I sampled, but did not bother rating as it was quite boring).

Apr 17, 2005 Golden color. Aroma was hard liquor, Scotch notes, honey. SMooth and watery texture. Silky. Flavor was a little rough. Alcohol dominates. Didn’t much care for this.

Nov 9, 2004 I thought this one was great. Wonderful color with a great woody nose of oak and honey. AT 13% a bit hot but not too much. Wonderfull chilled as they say on the label. My Hubby thought it was like a nice scotch but that must be the oak.
Their Sweet is much nicer as is their Pear Mead. But then again it isn’t beer!
