Bottle, bought @ Grønne Amalie, Kolding.
Pours lightly hazy amber with no head. Aroma is sweet, lots of honey, some light chocolate and caramel. It has a touch of carbonation, making it feel a little thin for a mead. Flavour is very sweet, alcoholic and filled to the brink with honey. Not balanced enough.
