heavy (536), Split, Croatia Nov 27, 2008 31/10 0.75 l bottle. It poured clear amber body with quite good, oily legs. True honey is predominant in its aroma along with alcohol before some spices. Honey flavor as well, with alcohol bite being much weaker than nose would suggest. Some other flavors are felt here, like for instance fruitness of a sherry or our local wine, prosek. Thick bodied, feels rich oily/creamy in the mouth. Warming, prolonged sweet finish. So sweet, it’s dangerously drinkable, I could easily drink a bottle or two. I was not happy about my first mead, but this is a completely different thing and I really like it! dalekliz (292), San Diego, California, USA Nov 20, 2008 Bottle, at WeeHeavySD’s Halloween tasting, with thanks to wetherel! Pours a clear amber. Huge honey aroma, sweet and sharp, with spices. Big, rich taste, of sweet honey and sharper spices, and an alcohol bite. The black currant come through nicely. Lingering spicy sweetness. Really tasty. wetherel (1151), Encinitas, California, USA Nov 18, 2008 Bottle from...I forgot? I love Jadwiga, so I’ve been eager to try this, but it’s so big and strong, I had to find a crowd. Pinkish yellow. Sweet. Flat. Pretty good, but no Jadwiga for sure. ironchefscott (268), long beach, California, USA Nov 1, 2008 thanks wetherel!
great honey flavor this was actually the first mead I liked.....dry and sweet at the same time...pretty dam good! Miksu (1348), Jyväskylä, Finland Nov 1, 2008 0.75 l bottle. Copper color. Sweet honeyish and candyish aroma. Sweet honeish, flowery, raisiny and berryish flavor with warming palate. Nice deep raisiny character, my favourite from Apis.
