Sahtipaja tasting @ kwartje. Hazy golden, sweet honey quite strong spicy burnt pepper, sweaty sock. Big sweet, massive spicy, quite risiculous really. Full body and low carbonation. Ridiculous stuff. But, the afterburn is really nice with the honey. --- Beer merged from original tick of Out of the Blue (Chipotle) on 03 Jul 2019 at 16:03 - Score: 8

Thnx to sinH4. The description sounds like sahtipaja wanted to make a mead that tastes like anything but honey , lol. Luckely they made some good meads in the past so I kinda trust them. Pours semi unclear blonde, smell is very earthy, vegetable, herbal pepper ( chipotle ) way to overpowering in the scent. Taste is plain burning chipotle. Some slick body, stixky back of the mead. Ends rather hot, possibly to much for many, but should be agreeable unbalanced to all I believe. The barrel character and subtile notes of flower are all lost to the chipotle. Certainly enjoyable and fun, but quality wise, they make so much better.

Aroma is honey, chili, spices, smoke, fishy (?). Taste is intensely spicey with honey sweetness. Not really drinkable due to the spiceyness. Some blueberries . However sweet honey finish that is actually nice. Interesting but not my thing.

(Sample from a bottle at RBESG 2017 Grand Tasting) The mead poured clear. No head. Aroma had sweetness and honey. Palate was medium bodied, sticky and burning with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, honey and vineousness. Aftertaste was sweet. A nice combination of sweetness and chilli.
