Pours orange and still/clear. Smells of alcohol, caraway, flowers, honey. Tastes of honey, orange, heather and flowers with a semisweet nicely balanced dryness on the finish. Alcohol is welcoming rather than intrusive. A superb aperitif!

Generous huge 750mL bonus bottle from pepsican. Yellow color. Pours flat. Served at room temperature. Aroma of some alcohol. It can almost knock you out if you inhale deeply with your nose. The aroma also has lots of sweet honey, and some yeasty, bready notes, I think it could be autolysis or dead yeast or something. Very pleasant actually. I completely don’t understand the low ratings on this beauty. Very sweet. Lots of honey flavor. Some throat burn going down. I love this mead, and I don’t care if my rating is out of wack with all you other losers. Yum!

Aroma like portvine.Body colour red. Sweet heavy flavor with a long duration. Texture oily. I like it.

Provided by my generous friend LordErasmus! Very nice and thick - extremely sweet and a worth competitor to the champ Apis Lubelski (or Jadwiga). There seemed to be some herbs (coriander) present and a fair amount of complexity. Terrific.

This corked bottled mead from a bottle shop poured virtually no head except for a few large sized clear colored bubbles that were quickly gone. The transparent uncarbonated orange colored body left a oily lacing on the side of my glass. The strong aroma was all honey like in a vinous sweet nectar. The mouth feel was mildly tingly at the start and strongly tingly at the finish with a vinous aftertaste. This mead burns in your lungs if you inhale its succulent vapors. The burn continues as it goes down your throat. The strong flavor contained notes of sweet vinous and honey. A wonderful best in class brew. It is a very good and interesting vinous mead. Almost forgot the quote from JSquire when we had this, "Its better than gay sex in a teachers lounge!" Did he really say that?
