Commercial Description:
English: The oldest known recipe for mead to be written down in the Nordic countries was in 1520 by the Archbishop Olaus Magnus. The recipe comprised of water, honey, hops and brewers yeast, and concludes, that "on the eight day - or earlier in emergencies - the mead may be drunk, but the longer it is left, the purer, better and healthier it will be." Our products are brewed based on a recipe from about year 1700, and the ingredients are pure and 100 pct. natural - guaranteed free from additives of any kind. Honey is the major and most important item in the recipe.

Ceramic Bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar. Pours reddish copper with no head. Nose is sweet with honey and touch bitterness from hops. Taste is sweet and bitter with a huge warming punch. Overall tasty mead a bit too hot, but thats a mead for you.

Bottle... Clear golden mead with lots of nice, weeping residue and legwork. Spicy, warm nose of ginger, vanilla, white oak, ethanol and honey. Medium-bodied and a touch oily with a whisper of carbonation. Heavily sweet, but also medium bitter - provided by hops and alcohol – just a tad acidic. Finishes boozy, warm and soothing. Nice mead.

LIght honey and spice in the aroma. Has a very distinct nose, and pours a beautiful heavy oily in the glass, leaving great lacing. Warming on the palate, but tastes very clean, and very heavy, with a lingering sweet finish.

Bottle. [thank you, Yespr]
Pours dark coppery golden with no head. Aroma is mild honey, and slight spices. Oily and thick mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, sharp alcohol and weak caramel. Not my kind of mead.
