Dansk Mjød Viking Blod

Brewed by Dansk Mjød
Style: Mead
Brande, Denmark

Notes of alcohol and spice, but this has a lot more sweetness and even a floral touch that comes and goes. Hints of vanilla that leads into a full on honey experience. Very solid flavors, enjoyable.

Bottle. #2600 [Courtesy of yespr, thanks buddy] Lovely golden / honey colour. Oily lacework. Aroma of spice, honey, medicine, fruit, alcohol. Full bodied with a flat carbonation and thick alcoholic texture. Heavy sweet flavour. Lingering medicine and honey like finish.

Bottle. Deep clear amber colour. Sweet honey bit stingy aroma. Thick sticky mouthfeel. Sweet alco honey flavour. Very good mead indeed. Thanks yespr.

25 cL bottle. Pours almost clear and golden orange with no head. Honey, wineous and raisin sweet aroma. Sweet flavour with a solid floral and honey note. Ends with warming alcohol and sweet.

Clear amber with no head. Sweet vinious aroma with honey, ripe fruits and caramel notes. Sweet flavor with alcohol, overripe fruits, caramel, honey and madeira notes. Ends sweet.

Bottled. Thx gnoff. Amber. No head. Sweet and flowery aroma with elder-honey. Soft and smooth with some alco-feel.

I could barely finish 2 ounces of this stuff. Lots of alcohol in the nose and the warmth on the way down is definitely noticeable. The way it goes down is much more like a cocktail than a beer. Flavour was unique as well. As I haven’t had all that many meads, I am just kind of blindly filling in numbers because I have to. I definitely need to understand the style better before I make a real call.

Sample from bottle, huge thanks to gnoff. Clear golden, no head at all. Strong honey aroma, alcohol, some floral notes. Sweet honey flavor, floral notes, oily palte. Alcohol is very well hidden, but you can still feel the strength.
