May 23, 2007 A deep, golden yellow coloured mead, served in a wine glass. an immediate hit of mulled wine-like aromas, plenty of cinnamon and clove accompanies the sweet honey aroma. The taste is sweet, rounded honey flavour is matched by the cinnamon lead spicy flavour, then the flavour becomes a touch medicinal, but pleasant. Tasted at the Cider stall at the 2007 Cambridge Beer Festival, the last thing, and a wonderful way of finishing the evening!

Aug 18, 2007 Metheglin label, from the blue max. Wow, was this a surprise. As Skyview and others commented that night, Christmas in a bottle. Exceptionally well blended cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice intermingled with the honey nose. Very similar taste, but exceptionally smooth for such a highly spiced mead. Oh, and a beautiful rich golden color.

Aug 18, 2007 Methgelin label. Mead and 300 night at Brewfiends; this one thanks to him! Dark yellow color. Aroma of cloves, cinnamon and pine. Sweet honey taste with cinnamon and allspice. The hands-down winner of the night for me. Very much a Christmas mead.

Oct 15, 2007 750 ml bottle. Pours a clear, rich honey gold with no head (this is a still mead). Wonderful aroma of sweet honey and spices. The flavor was equally as enjoyable with lots of sweet honey along with cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and ginger all noted. A bit syrupy, but this is very much a mead to be savored slowly, so the mouthfeel fits it quite well. Very well done and a perfect way to end a cool, crisp weekend.

Aug 18, 2007 Thanks much to Brewfiend for sharing. Pours a nice dark yellow color. Nice clovey, christmasy piney cinnamony spicy nose. Wow, great balance on the palate with a nice, but not overwhelming honey flavor, as well as some cinnamon, nutmeg, and as Ben said allspice. Wow, very nice mead.

Aug 23, 2007 Honey aroma. Light spices with sweet honey. Some nutmeg, fruit, a little cinnamon, my 2nd favorite from Lurgashall.

Nov 30, 2006 Bottle... Clear light yellow mead. Herbal, honey-sweet aroma with a hint of menthol. The flavor is nice for sipping. Ultra-sweet, but that’s expected; it’s mead. I’m not picking up the nutmeg or clove, but I’m getting a cinnamon vibe. Full-bodied and oily/syrupy with only a whisper of carbonation... maybe not even that. Finishes sweet and a touch grassy.

Aroma of hospital, sweat, cheese, spice, honey and fresh apple. Full bodied with an alcoholic texture and a soft carbonation. Heavy sweet flavor with light acidic notes. Warming honey sweet finish with an almost coconut and almond finishing touch. 28-09-2007
