Dansk Mjød Vikingernes Mjød

Brewed by Dansk Mjød
Style: Mead
Brande, Denmark

Great need! Good body, good authority, & wonderful aroma! great with food! Excellent brew!

This is the most delicious, and probably the only, type of beer which can be enjoyed as a dessert drink. With it’s strong taste of honey and it’s contain of ancient history, it is a taste of the past, where Vikings were rulers!

Is this the Mead that could give Apis a run for the money? Not sure but it was excellent all the same. The aroma was apples, honey, and christmas spices. The flavor is very sweet with some honey, almonds, spices, apples, and caramel. This is like a dessert beverage that you could not drink very much of. Too bad they don’t send this one across the pond. Awesome!!!

Orange-brown. Alcoholic aroma with notes of pine needles, raisins, chocolate, spices and syrup. Raisin flavor with notes of chocolate, pine needles and alcohol. Sweet. A fabulous drink!

Tiny, frosted bottle. Murky brownish color without head. Aroma is mostly alcohol with a twinge of honey. The taste is as smooth as silk. Honey, burnt molasses and caramel. Tried this side by side with Apis Jadwiga mead and although similar, this was a little more complex and less sweet. Thanks Jeppe (BierKönig ) for this real gem.

Aroma is vapory. Herbal, buckwheat, window cleaner alcoholic, Tiger Balm. Dark amber clear, no head. Viscous. After a sip, it has legs on the glass like wine. Thick oily body, burning. Honeycomb sweet, with honey dripping down my throat. Burning alcohol, sweet finish and after. Aftertaste like Ricola cough drops. I’d rather have this next time I’m stuffed up.

The aroma of Vikingernes Mjød is comparable to the aroma of fine sweet German dessert wines (like Bern- and Trockenbernauslese). The taste is sweet and strong, and the palate is full of honey. Real mead, like this, has no head or ’bubbles’. Mead is great as aperitif or with the dessert instead of port wine or sweet white. I AM A VIKING! AAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Bronzed peach. Lethargic clingy legwork coats the glass. Dazzling aroma of tangy plums, liquefied raisins, honeyed cane sugar, cinnamon, flower petals, wood, and perfume. Deeper wafts of cognac, herbs, ginger, and pear. Gritty, yet softly smooth texture. Initial clean alcohol burn blends with the remarkably bright floral and honey notes. Alcohol and unfermented honey smother most of the vague acidity. Crystallized sugar thrusts toward the heart and grits up the palate before a pungently leathery, sherry alcohol takes effect. Lavishly rich and complex, throughout, yet far from cloying, with a grassy herb tone underlying the sweetness. The alcohol continues to glow and highlights the cinnamon and candied ginger. Glassy alcohol in the finish dries it out and provides more brightness to the fruity backdrop. Plum, tingly alcohol (cognac), and clean wood remnants. Just needs a tad more acidity to partially deflect the sweetness and deepen this already-seductive Mead.
