A rich honey Mead blended with festive spices.
A delicious blend of rich honey Mead, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom, lemon, and orange zest.
Heat gently in a sauce pan, but do not boil! Serve warm with a tot of brandy on chilly winter evenings.

Bottle, 75cl. It pours oily, with a clear, golden body. The aroma is very spiced and perfumed, as well as with some honey. The flavor is pretty much the same, too perfumed and spiced, although with a nice honey sweetness. Full-bodied and warming, oily on the palate. Well, it’s sort of nice, in a way, but the perfume aroma and flavor is too much for me. Rating: 4-3-5-3-8-2.3. 131122
Bottle, 75cl. A clear one, pale golden in color, still and headless. Spiced honey aroma with a herbal touch. Some heather. It’s full-bodied, sweet, lightly warming and sort of sticky, with a citrusy touch. The flavor is honey driven, with some oxidation, spices, herbal hints and flower hints. Lasting finish with a good dash of spices. Nice this one. 210813

Sampled @ RB Danish Summer Gathering 2013 day 1, Ulfborg. Bottle. Yellowish color, no head. Aroma and taste have a lot of herbs or spices, I can basically just repeat the description and add sweetness. Not my thing really.
