Aug 28, 2008 At Peterboro BF 2008. A golden mead with the sweetest of sweet honey aromas. Lockets is a good description of the boiled sweet (and sweet) notes I get. Obviously too sweet in the mouth with a gloopy texture and more honey.Quite warming to be fair but sweet as ****

Aug 24, 2008 From the tap at the Wine Bar at Peterborough BF ’08. Gold. Aroma of proprietory cough linctus with a pleasant honey sweetness. Sweet taste becomes a trifle cloying, with just a hint of citrus sourness. Not really my thing, but it came as a welcome change after a run of hoppy golden ales. Difficult to rate fairly.

Dec 4, 2005 Bottle at London gathering, November 2005. Purchased from Hop Pocket Wine Company. mead is a real problem for me. I’m sure I’d like them if I could find one that was a bit dryer. This one has an overwhelming honey aroma and a massively sweet and sticky mouthfeel. Just as well Ii had plenty of people to share the bottle with me as a couple of sips is plenty for me. They still left me with half a bottle to deal with. Quite handy as a base for a meat marinade.

Nov 16, 2005 Bottle. Shaving cream and super sweet honey flavours. Some caramelised honey and warming alcohol in the finish. Meads are not for me!!!!!!!

Nov 16, 2005 Bottle @ London Gatherying, Nov 05. Floral honey. Leading into heatherish sweetness. Despite the fact I like honey and can appreaciate the honey aspect this was far too sweet to work well as a drink for me

Nov 14, 2005 Bottle at Chris’. Typical mead - thick and sweet and overpowering honey with a sort of stale urine character. I wasn’t too keen on it.

Nov 14, 2005 Bottle at London Gathering Nov 05. For me, one of the drinks of the Gathering. But I have a feeling that only Silk and I will agree on that. Beautiful deep copper colour with no head. Lovely nutty honey, nougat aroma. Really good buttery caramel in mouth, with a touch of herb. Sweet in mouth with more nuts and toffee/butter. Could have curled up with the rest of the bottle and an open fire and got sozzled.
