Small bottle. Sweet and syrupy with notes of syrupy red fruits, light spicy. Full and sweet finish, nice mead.

В аромате есть карамлька, затем мед, немного ноток сладких как от ликера, может это и есть виноград. Цвет полу коричневый, почти полностью прозрачный, пены нету. Вкус с харакетром, есть нотки от карамели и сока от каких то фруктов, но они ощущаются как в ликере. При глотке ощущается алкоголь, немного даже лишнего, чутка карамели с медом снова. В целом нормально.

100ml sample as a gift from danlo. Thanks, Ed. Deep golden brown and clear. No head. Honey and naked alcohol on the simple but effective aroma. Sweet taste, boozy, more a hint of the grape juice at the finish. There's not a lot to this drink but that doesn't stop it from being completely gorgeous. Recommended.

Oily reddish brown body with a honey aroma. Smooth, soft & soothing on the tongue. Honey, roasted, jam & sweet herbal tastes. Great sipper.

21/8/2020. Mini bottle courtesy of the SHIG. Pours clear dark amber with no head. Aroma of honey, fruit, flowers and chocolate. Medium plus sweetness and light bitterness. Medium body, sticky texture, minimal carbonation. Had a nice fruit cake finish. My favourite of the five meads we had today from Lindisfarne.
