3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A nice sample courtesy of Marko, via Fiulijn, great thanks to both of them! It poured copper body with tiny legs. Very nice honey aroma. Herbal honey flavor, not too herbal like some honeys gets. Full bodied with sticky palate offers long sweet honey finish. Pretty simple, but really nice mead.

One of Alexes of course (thanks fiulijn!). Brownish/reddish amber body. Nose... rubber (shoe sole), dried figs, carob, sweet banana, slightly sourish, but dominantly sweet. Full honey taste, woody, sweet, notes of carob maybe again, vague, very vague sweet mint. Some alcohol, light, in the finish again, more warming than in the taste. I can see the relationship to the 8 Year Old. Sligthly unbalanced, but hardly bad for it, very good stuff!

Bottle, from a shop in Antwerpen. Deep red brown, no head or condition.Sweet and woody in the mouth with a slight hint of apple, much the same in the mouth with a touch of alcohol apparent, sweet citric apple finish with some alcohol.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear brown with reddish shine. Sure looks like cognac. Very vinous nose, sweetness coming through but only just recognisable as honey. Tastes like a very sweet wine, honey comes through better, also notes of wood. Not unpleasant, but not really my cup of tea. I’ll stick to the beers...

Bottle Deep amber body (like cognac) No head. Nose of honey, cognac, ... Lightly bitter, moderately sweet flavour.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear red-foxy amber. Very vinous, and brandy-ish, even like old brandy or Pineau des Charentes. Sweet, honey-ish smell. VERY sweet taste indeed. Honeyish character is unmistakable; vague yeasty notes, dates and dark candi sugar. Very sticky MF, slick, alcoholwarming. "Pittige" (hot) they say, but I would have liked it a bit drier. Very nice nose, however.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Amber color. Heavy spicy honey aroma and a fruity alcoholic taste. Medium to full body and a sweet warming alcoholic finish.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
