Elegast Cidery Honey, Mead Cider! (Oogst 2021)
Mead 8.4 º
This Specialty Cider offers a complex sensory tapestry, blending harvest apples with the richness of local honey and the legacy of Bourbon barrels previously housing Van Moll Craft Beer stout. The abbey yeast provides a sophisticated fermentation profile, contributing spicy phenols and stone fruit esters that intermingle with the honey’s floral and earthy aromatics. On the palate, expect layers of vanilla and charred oak from the wood, complemented by subtle roasted malt undertones from the stout influence. The finish is structured yet indulgent, balancing the sweetness of the honey against the robust, spirited character of the barrel-aged cider.
Appearance. Deep gold to rich amber with brilliant clarity. Pours with a thin, ivory collar of fine bubbles that dissipates quickly; minimal lacing.
Aroma. High intensity; prominent wildflower honey with floral and earthy notes. Secondary aromas of vanilla, caramel, and a touch of roasted chocolate from the stout-seasoned Bourbon barrels. Fruity abbey yeast esters of pear and plum, with a subtle spicy clove-like phenol.
Taste. Initial honey sweetness is met by tart apple acidity. Mid-palate reveals complex wood-derived flavors of vanilla, toasted oak, and a faint cocoa note from the barrel influence. Abbey yeast lends a peppery spice. The finish is long and warming with a lingering bourbon character and a hint of tannic dryness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly viscous texture from the honey. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle prickle. Noticeable alcohol warmth is well-integrated, providing a cozy, spirited sensation without being harsh.
