After four years its only going to be in the bottle for a month? Haha, great to hear from you kahuna, I haven't tasted mine since I bottled it over a year and a half ago! Woah didn't, realize it had been that long.

I bottled mine a bit earlier than most, it seems. Got the fermenter going on 02/29/08, and bottled on 01/19/09. I had a sip when bottling, but haven't tried any since then until now. I've got to say, it turned out nicely! I get nothing but honey up front, while the aftertaste is pure vanilla. I am quite shocked that the vanilla flavor has lasted so long!

I unfortunately only made 1 gallon. I would definitely try a similar type of mead again, but with a bigger batch size

Aloha Class!
How is everyone.
I hope you all have a great bottle of mead from this project, and I hope you all get to share it with someone special!
The wife and I are gonna crack ours soon, and I gave a bottle to a friend to share with his wife.... then I've got like 20 bottles left for the next one.
Thanks to everyone for letting me be part of this mad fun!
~Cheers

4 years in the making...still a little hot. Faint honey noise but almost non-existent vanilla.
