Dansk Mjød Viking Blod

Brewed by Dansk Mjød
Style: Mead
Brande, Denmark

The aroma is very sweet with strong notes of flowers, but also alcohol and honey. The color is orange and it has no head. The flavor is quite sweet, but not too much, and it has strong notes of honey but also flowers noticably elderberryflowers. The alcohol runs warming and tickling over the tongue.

(Ceramic bottle 75 cl) Clear, very dark amber. Dark, vinous notes - not unlike port. Distinct sweetness, but the honey notes are not as strong as in other meads. Extremely complex and refined flavour pattern with impressions of dried or even overripe fruit. Lovely warming alcohol. 170605

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.

Bottled. Clear amber. Aroma of honey, herbal spices and alcohol. Very sweet, and the smooth warming qualities of Vikingernes Mjød is replaced by burning alcohol and intense sweetness. In the end it tastes more like vodka diluted with honey than anything else. I’m not very impressed, even though some of the herbal notes are really nice .

Bottled. Clear amber coloured with no head. Sweet aroma of honey with notes of fruits and spices. Sweet flavour of honey, spices, fruits and alcohol.

Golden-amber. Still. Flowery, spicy, slightly gingery aroma. Very sweet, spicy, herbal, floral...complex. Surprisingly refreshing for such a rich, thick mead. Fun stuff.

Amber color. Aroma of perfume, alcohol, herbs. Sweet and very warming, harmonious flavors; in the end it’s almost burning. Good.

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.
