Poured at the 2018 Leicester Beer Festival. Reddish gold, thin and flat. Aroma of raspberry and twigs with some honey on burnt toast. Sweet taste with black raspberry and a harsh alcoholic burn. Thin body. I've enjoyed many of the Rookery's meads but found this one a bit wanting.

Bottle picked up at Belmont St Farmer's Market. It appearance is clear greenish - yellow and a touch oily. The aroma is fragrant, spruce, pine, oily, honey cake, light fruity character, honey suckle and perhaps a touch herbal. The taste is slick, oily, sweetish, but mellow, spruce, green, herbal, floral, soft honey comb and a touch of alcohol warmth with a slick, oily finish. Medium body and oily, slick mouth - feel. Nice subtle nuances to it and never gets particularly sweet. Nice stuff.

From bottle. It pours clear pale gold. The aroma is rich, herbal, peppery spice, touch floral and some mellow honey. The taste is rather dry, rich, earthy, definite sake character throughout, floral accents. warming alcohol, peppery spice and juniper with a drying finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. A rather unique Mead.

Shared 350 ml bottle, from Aberdeen Country fair. Golden colour. Intense aroma and flavour of lavender and honey. Way too much lavender. Lavender in mead is not a particularly good idea. Not in beer either, by the way. Lavender belongs in soap and perfume.Sorry, won't buy again. Sweet Jebus, this is gross.

0,35 flaske på RBHD-samling, Bjørnøy jan-18: klar gylden uten skum. Sterkt parfymert aroma og smak med lavendel først og sist. Honningsødmen greier ikke å balansere. Boudoir and toilet cleanser. Extremely one-dimentional. Good grief.

Shared bottle at RB/HD at Bjørnøy 26.01.18. Perfumy aroma of lavender, sweet gale and toilet cleaning agent. Similar and resiny taste, including the toilet cleaning agent. Lavender: go away!

Taster at grassmarket. Nose is spruce, zesty lemon, floral honey. Palate is strong herbal, a bit of zest. Heavy finish. A bit better than the normal, but still crazy strong.

Taster at grassmarket. Nose is floral honey, heather, medicine. Palate is very heavy honey, almost like a koronny, but not as smooth. Too much for me.
