Jul 8, 2007 (Bottle) Clear deep golden color. Sweet honey and raissin scent, but also a lot of alcohol. Sweet honey scent. Though the aftertaste is alcohol and it’s quite warming, almost burning in the throat. Apparently they add hard spirits to this to stop the fermentation and keep some of the sweet stuff from the honey. I don’t think I appreciate the amount of alcohol that has been added. Rich mouthfeel.

May 25, 2007 Pours a still, rich gold. The aroma is full of honey, but the flavor comes across a bit hot. At first I thought this was from the alcohol, which is big, but it may be from the ginger after all. Thick with a lingering spicy burn from the ginger.

Feb 24, 2007 Updated: Jan 10, 2009Very interesting. Initially, the aroma brings to mind a silver tequila of all things. With a bit of snobbery and swirling, some flowers and spices, yes ginger, reveal themselves. Nice honey sweetness on the finish. A bit to alcoholic for my liking, but not bad overall.

Feb 18, 2007 Pours yellow / gold with no head. the aroma has honey, lots of alcohol warmth, ginger and lightly floral. Full body with a good bit of velvety sweetness. The taste starts with honey and a thickness that has a different feel from the barley malt beverages I’m used to, but it is very nice. The finish has slick sweetness and a clean ginger taste. The alcohol is present, but for 19% it is very well masked and this is a pleasant beverage to sip on. This is my first mean and it is a winner. I look forward to trying others.

Jul 26, 2006 Bottle, Københavnske Øldage 2006. Golden and clear. Really strong alcohol aroma. Sweet honey aromas. Spices are noticeable, but hard to detect/identify. Unfortunately it is way to high in alcohol content and aroma to be appreciated.
