Aug 27, 2008 (Bottled) Deep aged white wine color with no head. Pear-cidery, slightly sweet, white-wiineous aroma. Flaovr of honey, some alcohol, grapes, hints of oak. Quite full-bodied with no carbonation. A pleasant substitute for sweet, aged dessert wine - but nothing to do with beer.

May 25, 2008 Bottled. A golden mead with no head. The aroma is sweet and no wonder dominated by honey. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of honey, leading to a dry woody finish.

Pure gold. Nice aroma, sweet, with light honey, ripe apples, sweet wood. Medium body, then honey flavor with the right sweetness, and just a touch of acidity and citrus to balance it. Excellent!

Sep 15, 2007 (Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm, 14 Sep 2007) Golden yellow colour, no head. Sourish nose with notes of dry sherry, oak, ripe green apples and a hint of dissolvent. Fruity, slightly sourish notes of honey, ripe apples and berries (cranberries?). Smooth and spicy with balanced sweetness. Leaning slightly in the sherry direction. Actually my first taste of some real mead, and I was impressed. There will be more of this.
