A sweet mead made with whole cinnamon sticks, vanilla beans and aged on American oak. We slice each vanilla bean open by hand before adding to the mead to ensure maximum flavor extraction. Serve slightly chilled.

Bottle 750ml. blue glass.Clear light yellow colour with virtually no head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy spicy, cinnamon, "danish" bagererens fredags snegle, moderate honey, alcohol notes. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet with a long duration, spicy, cinnamon, but INO quit balanced. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat, finish feel is light alcoholic. [20120616]

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of Plovmand. Pours a hazy very pale yellow with no head. Very sweet and vanillaish aroma. Rich body, sweet honey and quite some vanilla.The cinnamon mostly leaves an artificial spicy edge. Very odd! 160612

Refrigerated bottle poured into a snifter. Pours crystal clear, no head, no lacing, medium/light body, light syrupy texture, and aroma is colgne and vanilla. Taste is cinnamon, some vanilla, some honey, some colgne, some warming alcohol, and finishes alcohol. Be sure to serve warmer, a little too much alcohol, pretty good.

Bottle in Ann Arbor. A touch hazy, very light yellow appearance. Sweet honey, cinnamon, mild vanilla bean aroma... My dad said tuna. Haha. Pretty spicy cinnamon, rich vanilla, big sweet honey flavor. Pretty big flavor but nice.

I surely don’t know why the love for this. The cinnamon was overbearing in the nose and flavor, vanilla barely noticeable, aroma also featured strong acetone notes. Semi-sweet up front and then sharp and a bit astringent at the finish. Meads are better when you let the honey shine, not cover it up with a bunch of weird spices and flavorings. Surprisingly pale color.
