Dink sample from fiulijn, pours a clear urine orange. Aroma brings out tons of hot booze and gasoline. Flavour is full of gasoline, with hot booze, some orange, and alcohol. Boozy, messy and lacking all integration. Very poor mead.

Gold. Plasticy honey note. Sticky, some fusels, not great. Some issues in the and what is the name of this mead?

Poured from a random container provided from Alex. Pours a light copper golden colour with no head. Nose is presently some fermented boozy notes with maybe a hint of honey. Flavour is rubbing alcohol, green apple, and a strong wood glue if not buttery aftertaste. Light bodied, no carbonation, and moderate sweetness with a rough boozy character. I feel like this was opened, corked, and left to sit for too long and continued to ferment wrong.

Poured from leftover container (thanks Fiulijn; 10 years old?). Clear deep gold, no head. Boozy, hint of honey, probably too old and oxidized, lost its flavour, almost wood glue-y. Not great.

Clear medium yellow colour with virtually no head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy honey, light to moderate apple - grape. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet with a long duration, honey, dry apple - maybe grape. Body is medium, texture is oily - syrupy, carbonation is flat, finish feel is light alcoholic. [20130224]

Corked bottle, 50cl, from Caffé del Corso, Osimo
Measured Final Gravity: 1016

Amber color. Aroma of sugar, some fermented honey, the grape provides just fruity hints; there is also a light oxidization and wood that adds more complexity than deception; some alcohol too finally.
The mouthfeel is semi-sweet; the mead character is very present, while the grape provides some light fruity feeling, not too evident; it has nice caramelly flavor, the alcohol provides a comforting warmth, pleasant when chilled; the final has a mild astringency, tannins possibly.
Nicely made, balanced and with a decent complexity.
