The sweet matches the heat in this brilliant wine with a kick. We started with Michigan wildflower honey and a ton of Michigan cherry juice. Once fermented, we added a lion’s share of red chipotle peppers to give it a smokey character and medium spice level. A fantastic wine for dessert. Try pairing this with rich chocolate cake.

    Clearance bottle from the Whale Outpost; $7, 2016 bottle. Had this when B. Nektar was cook & had white labels & cobalt blue bottles. Might have brought it to Ommegang(when that was cool). Pint glass @home. Deep, clear, still cherry brown pour. Smell is serious tomato-based bbq sauce with a cherry edge. Heavy smoke. So exact. Sweet & savory, mellow chipolte & tomato in those little Goya cans, maybe some apple sweetness. Doesn't taste OG. Some body, a little grit, bittersweet. Fine, but not what I remember.

    Pours translucent mahogany, not much head but his is a mead. Aroma presents honey and sour cherry. Flavor is mainly sourish cherry with honey and subtle smoky tones in supporting roles. Mouthfeel is fairly firm. Get the buzz.
