Bottle, at Både&. A still, unclear, orange-colored med with no head. Honey, fruity acidity, some alcohol and a light herbal, forest-ish touch in the aroma. It’s fruity acidic and honey tasting on the palate, warming, full-bodied and close to flat, with a lasting acidic finish reminiscent of sea buckthorn. According to the representative from Mjøderiet, this one shouldn’t be very acidic, so obviously something went wrong. Still, although a bit too dry and acidic, it’s a fine mead. Looking forward to having this againg in good shape. 170429

Bakgården Både & 290417. Dark golden color . Aroma is honey, sugar, citrus, yeast. Flavor is hint of honey, sugar, oranges, citrus, yeast. What a surprise. Perfect balance between sour and sweet. Probably something wrong , but i really like this version.

250 ml bottle, batch #1, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 12%. Deep brownish golden colour, no head nor any carbonation. Strong aroma of honey. Intense sweet flavour of honey, caramel and alcohol. Would probably profit from 10 years on oak.

21.12.2016, 0,25l bottle shared with Palme @ Apollon:
Small bubbly mediumlasting head, light amber slightly hazy color. Aroma is slightly sweet mineraly with a slightly sake-like boozy touch, mineraly honey, paper, booze, flowers, grain, grass, caramel, bark. Taste is slightly dry mineraly with much of the same sake-like boozyness, mineraly honey, booze, paper, flowers, caramel, hay, grass. Even though there is some level of boozyness in the mouthfeel, the mouthfeel still feels kind of watery. Fair enough.

0.25l bottle from #1 shared with Inbreak @ Apollon. It looks like a mead, yeah. From the bottle this pours a darker golden, slightly blurry body with bubbly quickly gone little filmy top. On the nose it's really intense honey and caramel sweet. Not cloying or anything, and I find clear tones of both vanilla and some clear alcohol, a little leather and it actually reminds me a little if cold sake. Not bad, quite different. Tastes good. Warming but nowhere boozy. It's thick and oily in the mouth and there's not really any bubbles here. There's tones of coconut/honey biscuits, a little hay also and the cold sake is still present. Not bad this tasting this honey they have used. Yeah this is a nice mighty one, but still not over the top. Good sipper - well masked ABV. 21.12.2016
