Commercial Description:
It has very rich specific fragrance due to the addition of raspberries and wild rose to nectar honey.

1 litre of Półtorak style mead contains 720 g of natural honey. By comparison, the Dwojniak style of mead contains 610g/L of honey; the Trojniak contains 420g/L and the Czworniak contains 320g/L.

Półtorak mead matures for several years to achieve full clarity. In time its rich aroma hides a high content of alcohol (16%) and acidity forming the finest liquor there is.

Pours a rich, viscous clear amber color. Rousing leaves a thin sheet of mead slowing rolling down the glass sides. Great aroma of honey, alcohol, and a spicy herbal background. A sip coats the mouth with a honeyed sweetness that expands outward into a very earthy herbal character. Don’t give nearly as much heat as I thought it would. The taste pleasantly lingers and tingles on the palate. Damn good.

Thanks to thickfreakness for sharing some of this stuff! Pours an unassuming clear amber with no carbonation or head. Smell is extremely honey like with light notes of pear and fruitiness wafting out as well. Taste was incredibly sweet and cloying and was like chugging thinned out honey with a light fruitiness attached to it. Syrupy body and smooth despite the 16% ABV, which was well hidden. Still, it was incredibly difficult to drink 1 ounce over 20 minutes and was just incredibly cloying and unbalanced. I don’t understand how somebody can complain any beer is too sweet and not claim the same for this. Nice to try, but I can’t say I would ever want it again.

Many thanks to SoLan for the bottle. Pours clear with a pinkish amber color. Sweet floral honey with pears, raisins, and alcohol also in the nose. Flavors of rum soaked raisins, floral honey, pears, ripe apples, and booze. Very much like a dessert wine. Thick huge viscous mouthfeel. Awesome stuff. I will be savoring this bottle over quite a few nights.

0.75 l bottle. Copper to amber color. Very sweet flowery aroma with hints of butter. Very sweet and honeyish flavor with dark sugar, raspberries and butter. Soft very warming palate, a bit too warming for me. This is very sweet but warming alcohol balances quite nicely.

Bottle from a trade long ago. What can i say the best mead i’ve ever had. Orange amber brown body with no head. Apple, honey, caramel apple. The honey is lightly viscous, very sweet and dry with a mild oakiness. Incredible.
