Bottled. Thanks to larsniclas.
Golden colour. Oak, honey and a bit of oxidation, which might add to the aroma profile. It feels pretty edgy already. Flavour is good, though bit edgy and alcoholic, though with excellent features such as roses, herbs and such. The mouthfeel is not as rounded as one would expect, and it does not linger the way the perfect mead would. Still, this is all good!

Nov 25, 2007 Bottle (thanks to rlgk and larsniclas!) shared with a bunch of RB:s. Clear amber with no head. Sherry-like aroma with apples and dark berries, and notes cedar wood. Medium bodied and smooth. Perfectly balanced with a gentle sweetness and a dry finish.

Nov 24, 2007 (Bottle, thanks to larsniclas!) Clear copper color, no head. Sweet, plum, acidic and alcohol scent. Harsh wood and sweet taste. Long warming alcohol aftertaste. Smooth and a bit harsh mouthfeel. Some apple aftertaste.

Sep 8, 2007 Bottle. Thanks to larsniclas. Golden color, no head. Very sweet cork aroma. Oily and sweet, I really dont know how to rate this, since its very different from other beers...

I’m no fan of meads and I think it’s diffcult to rate them ’cause I don’t know enough about them.
Golden and absolutely no head. Some cork/cedar in the aroma. Soft and smooth palate. Oily and sweet with loads of mead.
