2008 vintage - thanks fiulijn. 750mL bottle, pours a cloudy orange amber with a few bubbles worth of a head. Aroma brings out lots of bees wax, leather, and light cardboard. Flavour is loaded with bees wax, wildflower honey, bready notes and caramel. Lots of bees wax, with medium sweetness. Old, but wonderfully preserved. Excellent.

Hazy, light amber colour. This has a light sweetness. There's a lot of wood. Big spicy wood, lots of honey, and this has a whack of sweet, spicy, woody. The ginger and cinnamon is quite impressive, lends a great balance.

750ml bottle (thx, Alex!). Pours a bit hazy golden with no head. Aroma is sweet with honey notes, a bit woody. Similar taste, just very slightly boozy. Pleasant.

750mL bottle, pours a clear golden. Aroma brings out cheap honey, some acidity, and a touch of brown sugar. Flavour is medium sweet, with light-medium acidity, treacle toffee, and wildflower honey. Not the most elegant mead out there, with a fairly light and acidic palate. Good stuff - better than the average here, but nothing special.

Dull gold. On the nose, fairly honeyish. Soft, but with rich honeyed sweetness. Nice floral accent. Good balance, as there is just a touch of acidity that helps it along.

750 ml bottle. Clear, straw yellow body without any head. Aroma is mostly honey and alcohol with a faint hint of flowers. Flavor is medium sweet, mild honey. Even if the honey flavor feels a bit mild, it still a rather heavy brew, not very elegant but somehow bald and boozy with a hint of fruity acidity. Not very balanced at all. I suppose it’s drinkable if you enjoy mead, but it’s not my cup of honey.
