Looks like a dark mead, fairly clear. The smell is remarkably mild given the strength of the flavor and the high alcohol. The hops are very balanced, giving it a mild floral flavor with some spice, but very understated. Not overly yeasty – again very balanced. Strong alcohol flavor. You’ll know you’re getting a 12.2% beer here with a small sip. Overall, the flavor is outstanding.
