2022 vintage. One of our originals returns. This run was aged for over 2 years in Superstition Meadery barrels which previously held Mead from their contingency series. Prior to holding mead, these barrels held Heaven Hill Bourbon, one of our favorites. On the nose we're getting a marmalade/apricot jam thing goin' on. Upon first sip you’re greeted with flavors of deep caramelized sugar, maple candy and molasses. Finish leaves a pleasant kiss of sweetness balanced by good, old American oak and all of those flavors that come with it. Baking spice and vanilla.

2022 vintage; consumed on 2/27/2023
Pours a clear, deep, blood-red body capped with multiple fingers of sickly beige-hued foam; decent head retention leaves a thin layer of cap, a massive, creamy collar, and expansive webs of chunky, soapy lacing strewn along the walls of the glass.
Aromas of powdered sugar project into honey-soaked toffee as hints of raspberry jam elevate to grapefruit cut with subtle pine, with shreds of oak lingering over the bouquet.
Taste features candied molasses paired with apricot opening, as toffee feeds to a resounding raspberry jam mid-palate and lingering shreds of red currant and subtle oak on the back end of the profile.
Mouthfeel brings a medium-light body and a fuller fluff of rounded carbonation, steadily drying as a quiet warmth eases over the palate and a slight prickle lingers through the finish.
Fruit-laden mead soaks through a sweet, hop-forward American Barleywine profile, a tannic elevation of caramel malts absorbed in a sticky, honeyed focus in a clever adaptation of a traditional-leaning base.
