Schramm’s Nutmeg utilizes the seed of a tropical evergreen, Myristica fragrans, native to the islands of Indonesia. Its aroma is warm, creamy and full-bodied, making it a seasonal favorite for chilly fall evenings. Paired with honey, nutmeg creates a concentrated, voluptuous mead which pairs beautifully with fish and roasted poultry.

Bottle receiver in trade. Thank you umich03jm! Pours pale golden leaving some nice looking legs on the glass. Smell is sweet, floral, slightly earthy and tiny spicy with honey, humid tropical greenhouse air, tropical flowers, mango, pineapple, moist soil, damp green leaves, nutmeg, lemon zest and hints of alcohol. Taste is sweet, fruity and floral with honey, cherimoya, mango, papaya, pineapple, nutmeg, mineral rich well water, lemon peal and hints of alcohol. Mouthfeel is round, tiny viscous, tiny sticky sweet, tiny boozy and medium bodied. Finish is sweet with honey, cherimoya, nutmeg, hay, well water and hints of alcohol and lemon zest. Damn, this blew me away! I expected something rather spicy and nutty but this is a cherimoya tropical fruit bomb. Very nice and what a surprise!

Willrunforbeer’s grand mead tasting. Bottle supplied by Ajax. Aroma is honey and what reminds me of a sugar cookie aroma. Mild nutmeg.
The flavor is mellow spice, nutmeg, vanilla, sugar and nice honey sweetness. Highly drinkable, very tasty.

Acquired via Mazer’s Club. Enjoyed split quite a few ways @ room temp in stemware on Christmas. Looks a very light golden yellow. Swirl reveals only mild alcohol legs. The nose reminds me more of ginger with only a touch of nutmeg. Very interesting. Wow, well this is much sweeter than expected. Nutmeg galore which isn’t a favorite spice of mine.Dry finish, very flavorful, thin mouthfeel. Really good but next to the berry offerings from Schramm’s, I’m not a huge fan.

Bottle - Honey and light spice. Pale gold. Light sweet honey. Very iSight and creamy on the palate. Nutmeg is subtle and if it wasn’t in the name I wouldn’t know it is there. Mellow.
