Bottled. A red mead. The aroma has notes of berries, alcohol, and honey. The flavor is sweet with notes of red berries lending it an acidic edge combined with notes of honey and wood, leading to a dry finish. Thanks fiulijn for sharing.

Bottle, 75cl, thx to Papsoe. A clear, yellowish mead, completely flat. Sweet and sugary nose with honey and heather, quite flowery. Honey, sugary sweetness, some papery notes, heather and other flowers and alcohol in the flavor. Medium body, warming in the mouth. A bit heavy on the sweetness, but a decent drink. (090514)

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of fiulijn. Clear yellow. Intense honey aroma. Light almost watery body, not much of a honey note, more like dry white wine really. Tart, alcoholic finish. 210309

Bottle, 14%. OK honey and wax aroma. Clear pale yellow colour. The flavour has a rough bitterness, with some vanilla. Clearly from being lagered on cask. Alcoholic bitterness in the finish.

75 cL bottle. Pours clear and yellow with no head. Distinct honey and herbal aroma. Dry, herbal to spiced flavoured. Rather dry. Dry, phenolic and dense alcohol in the main flavour and into the finish. Overempowering my liking.

Bottle from Chemins de Bretagne, Paris
An old style hydromel
Pale yellow color. While pouring, it spreads an intense aroma, floreal, with honey; it may also have traces of plastic; the aroma is not very strong, but very stylish. The mouthfeel as promised is very dry, no sweetness, lightly woody, less sour and pungent than a white wine but somehow reminiscent; later there is a feeling of wood, plastic and alcohol. The final is quite short, weak and lightly astringent, woody. Very difficult, but definitively interesting.
