At the Ft. Wayne Mead tasting. Thanks to hotstuff and thedm for sharing several meads. This Lednicki is a delicious liquid. Still out of the bottle with a redish amber color. Nose of floral honey, leather and decaying wood. Honey mouthfeel with stone fruit sweetness, and a sherry alcohol sense to it. Definitely my favorite of the night, but still not as good as the Apis Jadwiga.

Fort Wayne Mead Tasting. The final mead of the nite. Red in color with no head but that was expected. A wonderful vanilla and honey aroma. Honey taste with hints of vanilla and fruits. Wow, this was really tasty. Them Polish people sure do make a mean mead.

750ml. bottle at Fort Wayne Mead Tasting last night. No head poured, transparent, uncarbonated, and an orange hue. Aroma was sweet, slight honey note, and alcohol. Sweet, honey flavor. Delicious! Vinuous mouthfeel, yet smooth. A very good mead IMO and well worth trying.

Thanks to wohlfs! Alcohol, honey and apples. Very sweet, almost like a honey tea. The only meads I’ve had in the past have been dry. Suggestions of berries, sherry.

Slightly viscous orange-brown (almost looks like a distilled beverage). No head. Aroma of honey, buckwheat, port/sherry, & dark, dried fruit. Almost gritty sugary & syrupy feel. Complex, very sweet flavour of honey, buckwheat, brown sugar, port/sherry.

Honey, alcohol and fruit in the aroma. Copper with zero head. Sweet peppers and alcohol, with a chocolate liqueur aftertaste. Sweet, high alcohol is noted.
A fine offering!
My first, real Mead, Thanks to wohlfs!

Shared a bottle with rudolf and wohlfs after the buffalo brewfest (thanks guys). Dark orange pour. Lots of sweet alcohol in aroma. Taste is very in your face, as poochie would say: lots of alcohol (almost too much), but the sweet honey taste soothes it, and makes it very drinkable. A wonderful mead and, after failing miserably with my own honey homebrew, a very welcome pleasant experience. And at 14%, surprisingly quite drinkable.

Bottle. Pours a deep, blood-orange color. Aroma is sharp honey and alcohol. Mouthfeel is smooth, medium bodied. Taste is immediately sweet with a sharp alcohol kick. Very pleasant.
