Bottle, 75cl (RBNAG 07) Had it again, when I had the opportunity, to make sure it was as delicious as I found it to be at the first sample, and it sure was. A nice, dark golden to amber pour, without any bubbles on top, a lovely, sweet, honey aroma with heather and some alcohol, and a full-bodied palate with honey, heather and sugary sweetness. Just delicious. The alcohol is well hidden. I rated it a bit higher this time, at 8-4-8-4-17-4.1 but I didn’t change it due to the small difference.
Bottled at RBESG-06, GTN. (Thx Rick) It pours with a cognac-look, dark amber with no head at all. Honey, alcohol and notes of fruit, flowers and barnyard in the aroma. Full-bodied, with flavors of alcohol, sugar and honey in a heavenly blend. Sweet finish. Way better than the meads available in Norway. At 16% ABV, the alcohol is very well masked. (060826)

(Bottle) Beautiful warm, reddish amber with no head whatsoever. Sweet, alcoholic nose of caramel and alcohol. Extremely full-bodied and extremely complex flavour pattern with loads of honey and fruit acents. But this is EXTREMELY sweet - actually I don’t believe I’ve ever had anything this sweet in my life. I love its complexity but am having trouble with its sugary sweetness. 260806

Bottle pours a clear golden yellow with no head or lacing. Amazing sweet and fumey honey and lightly flowery aroma. Flavor is extremely sweet but the rich honey and slight floral and raspberries are just the right combination. Obvious high ABV but the over the top sweet flavor makes you not care. Extremely soft and smooth with a slight sediment or waxy palate at the end. I will never have a mead like this again Im sure. Thanks a ton Buck Dich

Bottle @ yespr tasting. No head. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are rich honey, raspberries, caramel notes, warming alcohol. Nice and vinous. Lovely. Original rating 11/8/2005 back when I disliked mead: 4/3/7/4/15 Smell of sherry, taste exactly like sherry, but too sweet. If you like mead I guess it’s okay...

Thanks to my Secret Santa (Jeffin7) for this! This still elixir pours clear light amber. Very complex aroma. Honey of course, but there are also aromas which remind me of the inside of an old leather pouch of aromatic pipe tobacco. There is almost a Tequila like alcohol aroma too. The flavor is very sweet, some will not like it, but if you like a very sweet sipper, you may find the spicy, cinnamon flavors to your liking. Thick and coating.
