15/XI/14 - 25cl bottle from an Apis honey shop (Gent, Brussels, ...) @ home - BB: n/a (2014-1339)
Clear dark amber mead, very adhesive, tears trickling down the glass. Aroma: bourbon, caramel, vanilla, sugary, alcohol, honey, bit oxidized. MF: medium to full body. Taste: sweet sugary start, alcohol, honey, caramel, bit floral. Aftertaste: sugary, honey, alcohol, some walnuts, sweet. Nice, although I have very little experience with mead.

20.03.2013, bottle sampled @ BBGTC tasting:
Sødmerik lett tørr lukt med preg av honning, tre, rosiner, sukker. Sødmerik konsentrert smak med preg av fyldig honning, sukker, karamell, tre, litt sure epler. God, men kanskje litt søt.

750mL bottle, sent from pantanap (thanks a lot, Kan), pours a dark ruby red with no head. Aroma brings out loads of honey and raspberries, with liqueur and booze. Flavour is crazy decadent, with a ridiculous amount of honey absolutely dominating everything, followed by raspberries, and moderate alcohol but well-hidden. Insanely sweet, well beyond cloying level, though it is still decadent as hell. The booze is well-hidden, as the sweetness overtakes everything. Syrupy viscosity, not that far off from maple syrup or something similar. Too sweet for me, but I recognize the quality of this. Drinkable in extremely small quantities.

Bottle courtesy of Kaj (non-RB). Pours clear goldenish red with no head worth mentioning. Smell is very sweet and slightly fruity with tons of honey, raspberries, rose hips, hay, dry wood, alcohol, raspberry hard candy, vanilla caramel candy, lemon zest, raisins and hints of dried flowers. Taste is extremely overwhelmingly sweet with craploads of honey, raspberries, dried rose hips, hay, dry wood, alcohol, raisins, dates and assorted vanilla and red fruit based candies. Mouthfeel is sticky sweet, silky, oily, very tiny fruity tart and full bodied. Finish is sweet sweet sweet with raspberries, dried rosehips, dry wood, raisins and tons of high quality honey. Intensely sweet, deceiving and extremely tasty. --- Beer merged from original tick of Półtorak Jadwiga on 12 Jan 2015 at 22:20 - Score: 9. Original review text: Intensely flavourful and tasty!

Warm reddish brown colour, no head. Aroma of walnut, warm wood notes, alcohol, honey, light fruity touch. Sweet flavour, honey, maple syrup, raisins and vanilla. Full body. Sweet honey finish, caramel, lingering alcohol and raisins.
Very, very nice, in a dessert wine way. Good to nip and savour, but wouldn’t want to drink a whole bottle the whole evening.
(From 250 mL bottle shared @ Oirschot tasting. Thanks for getting me this one, Tim!)

Bottle shared by Martinus. Clear red color. Nice aroma of sweetness and alcohol. Taste is incredibly sweet and alcoholic. No idea how to rate this, totally not experienced when it comes to meads. Not bad though, but too sweet for me to really like it. The aroma is pretty nice I think but the sweetness is too much. It’s like pure honey with alcohol. Don’t know what to think of this, but it’s not bad. Not really my thing though.
