30 cl bottle from Systembolaget. The label states that it has been matured for 7 years, reaching 16.6% ABV. Pours copper. Tremendous chocolate aroma with caramel and nuts as well as alcohol. Taste is more sherryish, but still very sweet. Nuts take over as well as grapes and hints of cellar. Slick and oily texture. Irresistible- what good have I done to deserve drinking this on a Monday evening?

Oct 16, 2007 Bottle @ chris_os hotel room in Minneapolis: Copper color, nose of musty sweet honey and meadish. The flavor is sweet and caramelly, interesting light coconut and plum, koji and musty grape, almost like a dessert sherry. Nice and caramelly but not very sake like.

Jul 1, 2007 (500ml bottle, thanks BückDich) Clear amber body with nice legs -- cognackish. Aroma is moderately sweet, floral, plum, some alcohol, soy. Taste is sweet, orange blossom, plum, light alcohol burn. Sticky full body. Evokes the Polish meads. Not sure I like it as much as the bum Jordan shared it with, but enjoyable nonetheless.
