4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
0.25l bottle kindly shared by the one and only ClubGonzo. Pours a lovely looking woody dark caramel-looking mead. Aroma is sweet, honey, sweet but not to sweet. Dates, raisin and a bit of farm as well. Lovely stuff. Actually can remind a bit of the amazing Utopias and perhaps even Mooi & Machtig. Anyhow, the flavors are just so fantastic. Sweet with lots of dates, raisins, figs, dried apples and candy sugar. So tasteful and it’s just amazing that it’s possible to make these fantastic meads by just using something a bee pushed out it’s little dingy dingy. Mmmm..ead! Thank’s for sharing Stian (and Rune of course!)

Bottle, courtesy of RuneStumo - thanks man! :-D Pours a clear deep orange, nearly cognac-like body. Aroma is malty barley wine sugary tones, smooth honey and hints of sawdust and beeswax. Very, very nice. Body is velvety, smooth and intense honey tones, hints of herbs, wood and syrupy molasses. Sticky and sweet, and utterly delicious. Mmmm.
