Bottle pours clear copper and has a headless beer like appearance. The aroma has big sweet honey and mild other nuances I can’t describe rolling into a bit of chemical heat. Maybe it is something like earthy sugars, hmm. The taste is crystal sweet honey and gets into slickness and a few other notes that, like the aroma, I can’t really put my finger on but adds pleasing depth and uniqueness to the experience.

Corked 37.5cl bottle at Papsø’s
Hazy deep blond color. Although the French often use buckwheat honey for Mead, this one has the most evident aroma of buckwheat, and honey; breadish, rustic, but very interesting. Very sweet, but not syrupy; and the sweetness is cut by the strong alcohol feeling; in the front there is also some light acidity and very light carbonation; the honey flavor is clear, as evident are, once again, its roots; there is a very light bitterness in the final, that in a buckwheat Mead doesn’t disturb as in other more floral ones; and the alcohol warms the mouth. Nice, sharp, peculiar.

Bottled. A hazy golden mead. The aroma has notes of honey and sppices. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of alcohol, wax, and honey, as well as some spices, leading to a dry honey finish. The alcohol burns the tongue.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Courtesy of TheCheeseMan. Pours an almost clear golden with tiny, tiny bubbles. Interesting aroma of flowers, honey and...a little barnyard. Solid body, sweet honey, again flowers. The finish is a little boozy and even slightly bitter. 250311
