Pours a garnet from a bottle. Aroma of blackberry, some definite clove. Flavors similar, blackberry jam, clove, only a hint of orange, clove is somewhat strong, jarring, but not off-putting. A little over sweet. Good mead.

Bottle 500ml @ Geokkjer
Pours dark reddish brown with a small off-white head. Aroma has notes of honey, blackberries and cloves. Taste is medium sweet with a long blackberry, clove and orange finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. A bit heavy on the clove and reminds a bit of cold mulled wine, but still very nice.

Bottle. An unclear, dark ruby colored mead with a small, pinkish head. There’s lots of berries in the aroma, cloves as well, and a touch of honey in the back. Some citrus notes in the flavor, with honey notes, dark berries and a good dash of cloves. A bit too much cloves I think, it’s sort of like drinking an unheated gløgg. Nice though. Medium body, smooth on the palate. Long finish with orange zest, cloves and dark berries. Quite decent this one, but a tad heavy on the cloves. 150808

Fra flaske på rbhd-treff hos Sigmund, juni-15: klar rubinrød, nesten uten skum. Intens aroma av bjørnebær, bringebærbrus, nellik og honning. Sprudler lett på tunga, og smaken er en dessertorgie.

Shared bottle at RB/HD at Tau 07.06.15. Dark ruby. Pink, white head. Fine aroma of raspberries, cherries, black currants and clove. Similar, and superb taste. Complex and easily drinkable.
