Lurgashall English / Celtic / Christmas Mead

This was a solid mead.It was sweet, honey like but not thick and syrupy.This went down nice with a small warming.

Poured a pale golden color. Aroma was all sweet honey. Texture was much more thin and wattery than I like my meads. I love them thick and sticky. This one had decent basic flavor though. Sweet honey up front, cloves, black pepper and spices on the back end. I drank this cold and I think it would be better warm. Not a bad mead at all. Just not outsanding.

Bottle, shared by Papsoe. As English Honey Mead. A clear, flat mead with a slightly golden color. Intensely sweet, honeyish nose with heather-notes and some alcohol. Sweet, honey-ish flavor with heather. Sweet and warming mouthfeel, and a lasting, sweet, heathery, warming finish. Medium to full body. A decent mead, but with too much heather for my taste.
