Mamy thanks to Jacek Wigier (wine of dreams in Warsaw). Miód pitny wodnisty że nazwałbym go piątkiem albo szostakiem. A piwa w smaku brak. W zapachu miód wielokwiatowy, smak lekki delikatny mod z wodą. Ocena zawyżona bo chociaż minimalnie pomaga na przeziębione gardło.

Sample, thanks to danlo. Clear copper / amber. Boozy aroma, rich honey. Big dark honey character overall, moderately sweet, herbal hints.. ale influence is subtle. Good.

70cl bottle from the Cheese & Wine shop, Darlington. Deep coppery amber colour, afew bubbles on top and aroma of honey, brown sugar, hint of malt. Taste is sweet, toffee, brown sugar, honey, fruitcake, with some warning boozy notes. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry warm boozy earthy and lingering sweet sugary finish. Nicely sippable

Bottle from the meadery. Clear dark honey colour. Thick, oily texture. Very sweet at first, before the flavours start to develop - muscovado sugar, honey, brown bread and Christmas cake. Just enough dark notes to stop the sweetness taking over. The more I drank, the more I liked it.
