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.

Tons of thanks to Jimmack, shared at Mullman’s Devil’s Nite. Poured like honey and syrup. Nose was honey, honey, alcohol, and more honey. BIG alcohol warming, very good on a chilly night. Really nice mead here. Glad I was able to sample this baby.

[bottle at LCRBM] The aroma has lots of honey, orange, floral and perfumy, lavender? very full, sweet but i could still fire through a bottle without any problems. [Bottle at RBESG] My rating simply says "Mongolian curtains, mahogany pencil shape. Metal pole like in nature."

Bottle. This was a very good mead, but meads are just too sweet for me, hence my low-ish rating. Lots of sweet honey notes as a slightly honey and marmalade on toast sort of character, some dark fruit (figgy sort of fruit) is also in there. Pretty much all its characters are sweet, which i guess is part of the style, but i just don’t like the over the top sweetness, some wonderful flavours are in this though, and if you love mead, this will probably be a favourite.

LCRBM. How to rate a mead? I only have had one before... Beautiful orange colour, thick and sticky. Very sweet full honeytaste and the alcohol is extremely wellhidden. Seemed perfectly balanced, warming, and despite the huge sweetness, never cloyingly so..I really liked it.

My first Mead-Rating, so I have no comparison. LCRBM: Deep orange color, nice sticky laces on the glasse. Alcohol and and slightly kumquat honey taste. The alcohol is suprisingly hidden though and it is smooth and lingers down quite nicely! I have to get more experience and hopefully I can rerate this some time.

Brilliant thick orange beer (color of Mandarine Napoléon Liquor). No head but an overwhelming aroma of oranges, honey, Cognac, cane sugar with brown Rhum, mandarines, sharp mirabelles and bergamots. The moutfeel is oily and thick. It leaves sticky tears on the glas (glycerol?) At first it is very sweet and decadent honey like. then the sourish, refreshing citrus fruit accents are comming up. The alcohol gives it an extra warming dimention, but it is extreemly well integrated in this most original Mead style beer. I dont know who brought this to the LCRBM but thanks anyway.

Smell of sherry, taste exactly like sherry, but too sweet. If you like mead I guess it’s okay...

No#27. I was sitting next to the fellow who brought this and he’s a seriously funny fellow, if you see this beer mail me. This just outstanding, soem might say this isnt beer, and well you might be right but that doesnt stop it tasting outstandingly good. Aroma is complexly fruity, with a nice full sweetness. Taste is just oustanding, the honey swirls round your mouth with the fruit and oh i could go on for days about this fellow, but id prefer to just drink more. Yum yumm.
