In order to establish this mead we have combined the traditional brew with dried hibiscus. In addition to the color this spice adds an aromatic and floral aftertaste to this mead, like a good madeira.

Bottle at home over few days around thanksgiving. Not sure what compelled me to finally give this a try. Heavy bottle. Light pinkish colored. Nose is honey herbal and floral. Tastes of honey, sweet nectar, floral, some herbs. Fairly sweet and sticky.

Glass from the bottle, at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours fairly hazy, opaque amber, with no foam. Unattractive. Aroma is surprisingly not so obviously honey, being herbal, floral, spicy Body is thick, with no carbonation. Quite a spiciness and stickiness. Taste is intensely sweet, somehow balanced by the above-mentioned spiciness. Final is pretty long, sweet and spicy.
