At a tasting, lighti gold colour,aroma of clove and cinamon with some sausage spiciness in the back that feels too strong and medicinal, flavour of clove and cinamon with a strong candy like sweetness and sourness at all. Drinkable but much too sweet.

20/07 and completed the next day at Richtar Jakub, Bratislava. It had full golden body with small legs. Strong honey aroma, spiced up with mint and some milder herb. Flavor is quite sweet with spices again, mint, cinnamon, cloves and ordinary dry herbs. Long, warming finish. Quite interesting and although a bit too sweet for my taste I admit it’s a great mead.

Thanks to the Richtar Jakub guy who’s on RB for opening this bottle for us. And what a way to finish the day... One of the best spiced meads there probably is. A full golden in the body, it blasts off with a pungent honey aroma with trace spices, only to continue with more of the same in the taste, only joined with nicely blended notes of cinnamon and cloves.

My personal favourite from both Slovak and Czech meads so far. Tried it on uncountable occasions both from bottle, and from "cask", both hot and cold. Colour beautiful golden and very clear. Aroma of honey. You will not find much more in this mead, some people say it is too sweet for them, but it is ok with me. It will always leave you wanting more. If I am bored of the sweetness, I usually buy Apimed Staroslovanská Medovina Svetlá.
