Clear, golden slightly copper, round mercurial feel and a thick meniscus, some waxy flavors, clean not too sticky, no negative off flavors, apple aromas, a tad cidery, lightly alcoholic, bits of seemingly tannic bitterness.

Bottled. Golden coloured. No head. Aroma of subdued honey, sweetness, fruits and berries. Flavour of berries, honey, light sweetness, fruits. Medium to full bodied. Sweet in the end with a light alc.touch on the lips.

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!

Sweet fruity smell which at first could be confused for port. Appears clearish golden either like watered down honey or another bee by-product. First taste was medium sweet and reminiscent of a port, although probably because of similar alcohol level, lack of carbonation and lack of mead exposure. More sips revealed a light dry finish, a pleasant surprise and unexpected from the honey association.

Bottle @ Papsø. Pours a golden color with no head. Has a sweetish spicy honey aroma. Sweetish warming spicy honey flavor wit some hints of raisin. Has a sweetish warming spicy honey finish.

Drunk to celebrate my rating number 18,700. Bottled. A dark golden mead. The aroma has notes of honey and berries. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of honey, alcohol, and berries, leading to a dry alcoholic finish.
