Dec 23, 2007 Bottle: Clear gold in color, some legs, not much though. Aroma, honey and some fruits, faint spicing, some vanillla. Flavor, honey, hints of oak, some apple, a bit hot, and on the dry side. Not bad though.

Nov 8, 2007 2006 Vintage. 750 ml bottle. Pours a rich amber gold with no head. This is a still mead. Strong honey aroma mixes with the oak aroma, but the two just don’t seem to come together. The flavor seems even more discordant, with lots of honey and oak, but the two flavors are fighting one another instead of melding into one. Semi-dry. Very strong alcohol burn lingers well after the swallow. This feels more like a honey liqueur than a mead.

Aug 23, 2007 My favorite of the lurgashall meads. Full honey aroma. Some carbonation. Sweet, but not sugary, and not as sweet as some others. Flavor has honey and apple, with just a hint of alcohol that does not detract from the experience.

Aug 18, 2007 Many thanks to eaglefan538 for sending me the one bottle I couldn’t find locally for my Lurgashall flight. Crisp yellow color with a rich smooth honey nose. Les sweet than I’d expected, but very, very nice.

Aug 18, 2007 Thanks to Brewfiend. Light pale straw yellow color. Very sweet concentrated honey with a nice almost rose like floral sweetness on the end of the nose. Nice sweet honey upfront with a light sweet citrus finish. Very nice balance, and not overpoweringly sweet at all.

Aug 18, 2007 Special Reserve label; 2006 Vintage. Mead and 300 night at Brewfiends; this one thanks to him! Light yellow color. Powerful clover honey aroma with a strong hit of flowers. A bitter clove honey taste up front, but it finishes quite sweet.

Aug 18, 2007 A 2005 vintage shared by Brewfiend. Pours a clear golden Chardonnay beverage. Texture is smooth, silky with high alcohol character. Aroma of sweet light clover honey, some Caribbean light rum and a hint of apple. Taste is sweet honey, rum and just a touch of apple vinegar. Finish has a short lived sweet light honey flavor and high alcohol burn.
