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.

Small bottle (Thanks, Basia - you came through in the end). Earthy, fruity raw honey and alcohol aroma. Chestnut brown color. Smooth sweet honey flavor with hint of raspberry in the finish. Full bodied. Lives up to the hype - wonderful.

This has te color of darkish maple syrup. Walks down the side of the glass. Nose is intense honey, wax, flowers, sweet fruits, and various sweet fruity and sugary nuances. Flavor is intensely sweet homes some touch of fruit and alcohol. Thick feel. Nice but aroma is superior.

Bottle. Clear amber pour with no head. Burns the nostrils a little kinda like Grand Mariner. All kinds of honey, raspberry, and orange aromas. Rich caramel, honey, and raspberry notes. Outstanding...

Only a sherry aroma but the mouthfeel is wow! So soft and silky, how can something be so sweet but not sticky. Red fruit and obviously mega honey taste. Just 100ml is enough. Fantastic!

Wee dram of this, courtesy of Armin and Aaron. Poured a hazy golden and and still as can be. Taste is thick and rich honey, mild notes of alcohol and a syrupy goodness. Warming throughout with a cinnamon and orange fruit finish. Crazy stuff. Must try again.
