[Vintage 2001 - sampled 2005] A dark nut-brown mead ofcourse with no head. The aroma is very sweet with powerful notes of honey and lesser notes of rosehips. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of honey, pollen, and rosehips. The mouthfeel is smooth and the body powerful, leaving a little alcohol burn on the tongue and in the cheeks.

(Ceramic bottle 70 cl) Courtesy of yngwie. Clear, warm, orangey brown. Fat honey aroma and some distinct alcohol. Surprisingly comes a little light in body, notes of honey and burned caramel and a burning alcohol spark in the finish. Not unpleasant but perhaps not the most balanced. 071007
