Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of fiulijn. Pours a clear golden. Interesting fruity/spicy aroma atop a bed of honey. Medium body, light and very fruity honey notes and then again this interesting fig flavour. A different and interesting mead. 061011

Another one courtesy of fiulijn (and another thanks!) and shared with omhper. Golden body, no head. Again sweaty tropical fruit mixing with light honey. Tropical fruit rounded by fig jam. Like they used the Sweet for the base and it ended a bit more balanced than the original and I dig it slightly. Slightly warming too now that I think of it.

Bottled, thanks fiulijn! Clear golden. Aroma of butternut and fig jam. Mildly sweet with a citricity and raisiny notes from the figs. Medium bodied with some lavender. The slightest peppery alcohol tingle in the finish. Interesting and unusual.
