Our Dark Mead is a stirring drink. It has been created in order to respect traditional thinking to commemorate the region’s Roman to Modern day history. This heady dark drink uses honey sourced worldwide, which also includes honey from the hives on the banks of the local river Tweed to create the perfect balance.

Bottle shared with Grumbo: Poured a coppery burnt orange with no head. Aroma is sweet honey. Taste is berry fruit, sweet money, grape. Sweetness in the finish but alcohol burn too.

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.

50ml bottle from Alnwick Castle. Pours clear brown, still. It's got legs, mind you. Aromas of honey, toffee and booze. Taste is burnt sugar, raisins, spice and booze heat. Sweet finish.

Aus der Flasche im 2018-07 auf Holy Island getrunken. Dieses dunkle Met erinnert nicht nur in der Farbe an dunklen Rum, sondern auch etwas im Geschmack. Doch neben der kräftigen Süsse ist nicht viel und macht das Met doch sehr eindimensional. Wer es mag - Cheers!

Sampler at Woodhorn Museum. Appearance - like a dark rum. Dark brown to black. Nose - brown sugar, wood spice. Taste - more brown sugar, light liquorice. Palate - rich and full bodied. Overall - probably the weakest in the range but ok.

At the discover Mead event at Beerlovers bar. Pours dark ( coca cola like color ) Smell is sweet, candy, rather full. Taste is full, sweet, intense, dark candy. Bit plasticy by the end, but otherwise a damn fine mead.
