Commercial Description:
It has very rich specific fragrance due to the addition of raspberries and wild rose to nectar honey.

1 litre of Półtorak style mead contains 720 g of natural honey. By comparison, the Dwojniak style of mead contains 610g/L of honey; the Trojniak contains 420g/L and the Czworniak contains 320g/L.

Półtorak mead matures for several years to achieve full clarity. In time its rich aroma hides a high content of alcohol (16%) and acidity forming the finest liquor there is.

At a tasting, thanks Zvikar, clear deep brown colour, aroma of honey drops, flowers, raisins and vinous notes. flavours of honey, nuts and some spice, syrupy texture. Extremely sweet but mellow and not cloying, but sweetness is dominating and there is no acidity or bitterness to counter it, and to me that is something that sorley missed. Still a good and very intresting desert drink.

Thanks Naam, 25cl bottle. Pours sticky red to orange clear liquor. Aroma is bursting with honey well preserved without any kinky notes, some fruits like peach and apricot can be sensed as well. Flavor of honey, intense sweetness, some fruits and some acidity in the finish. Sticky mouthfeel. This is a piece of art in the sense of the brewers ability to preserve the honey aromas and flavors.

Never rated this before, odd. Pours a rich, burnt orange, almost crystalline. Aroma is honey, wild flowers, loads of dark fruit, oak, a slight botrytis nose, roasted citrus. Ethereal. The flavor is intense and warming, honey and a touch of oak. The mouth feel is like sipping velvet, enveloping and seductive. Truly an amazing beverage.

Had at the Hopleaf in Chicago. Tastes like honey and smells like alcohol - wasn’t blown away, but decent stuff.

Copper colored brew. Alcoholic and sweet honey in the aroma. Very thick, very sweet, lovely honey flavor! Enjoy slowly, sipping. Honey is slowly getting down to the bottom of the glass. Love it.

Aged 6 years... 2002(?) Vintage

3/12/2008: Apis Póltorak Jadwiga is medium-bodied, deep honey-colored, sweet mead that is quite complex. It smells like a like fine honey liquour and is sweet with complexities including toasted honey comb and apple. This mead is sweet, but isn’t cloying and isn’t even syrupy. The alcohol is warming but completely absent from the flavor. Overall this is a very impressive mead that is great for sipping and enjoying very slowly!

Bottle (Alc 16% vol.) shared by Tmoney99. Thanks Tom! Rating #346 for this mead.
