Bottle brown, 750 ml
Appearance Pours very oily sticky in texture with high viscosity, very meady in texture like honey, body is perfectly clear, burned orangy golden, brownish, dark amber, very lively, essential, beautiful, crystal clear
Aroma Heavy honey accents, very juicy sweet, but what is more to balance it you can easily feel scents of undergrowth and fruits of forests, alcohol content being high is perfectly hidden and spices up the aroma influenting it positively, plum, some accidity suggesting dry flavour, notes of crystalized honey, very strong and essential aroma
Flavour Not that sweet especially in the aftertaste and not that fruity as compared to Apis Poltorak Jadwiga However very fat and rich in honey, very juicy, sweet and natural being present on palate, front is sweet and quite alcoholic but ago in a positive way adding and contributing to its character, later on some dry oriented accidityis felt, finally to develop into sweet, sticky finish with really noble forest fruity nose and scents of undergrowth, notes of plum and prune, resin, raisins, finish duration is very long

Oily, full-bodied mouthfeel. The finish is long with sweetness and honey. A beautiful mead, just like the other Apis meads I’ve had, but this one was a bit on the sweet side.

Flavour is very sweet, and oily. Has powerful taste of walnuts, honey and some viniousness. JensenTaster (1585), Denmark Mar 3, 2008 (on bottle, thanx to thewolf) Ambercolor and no head. Serious alcoholaroma, get´s almost burning and plum-like. Fat mouthfeel, the sugars and alcohol really heats up and leaves little room for any tasteindicators, aside from that thick and luxurious honey. thewolf (5621), Kolding, Denmark Mar 2, 2008 Bottle @ thewolf tasting.
