This mead poured a clear light golden color. The aroma and flavor were very sweet. Big cinnamon and vanilla notes. Honey is definite. Big warming sensation. I can only drink a small sample of most meads in one sitting. That holds true with this one as well.

wonderfully sweet and tasty mead. medium sweet, light ochre-yellow haze from the added honey for sweetness. Great light alfalfa honey to match the spices. Strong vanilla and just enough cinnamon aroma / flavor. If you have a bottle, let it age at least 2 years...more is better.

750 ml cobalt blue swing-top bottle poured a clear pale gold. Aromas of honey,cinnamon, a hint of vanilla and pepper. Palate was light bodied, crisp and warming. Flavors of honey, cinnamon, pepper and a hint of vanilla with a warm lingering sweet finish.

Pours a hazy golden. Slight blush. This is a still mead. Indestinct honey aroma with a good bit of vanilla and slightly less cinnamon spicing, although the cinnamon still might qualify as a bit heavy handed. Sweet, but not the syrupy sweet of some of the heavier meads like Apis Jadwiga. Nice spicing in the finish as well as a lemon zest that would have me convinced they actually added lemon zest if I didn’t know better.

Still semi sweet light yellow. Aroma of a little honey, lots of cinnamon. Can taste a little honey, but the cinnamon is a little overwhelming, which is okay for this type. Leaves you wanting more.

Pours a light yellow, golden color with no head. Aroma is vanilla, cinnamon and plenty of alcohol. Flavor is the same with a nice alcohol warming, not too strong. The cinnamon and the alcohol blend together very nicely.
