Description
About Mjøderiet:

Behind Mjøderiet stands five firefighters from Bergen with a passion for mead - an ancient cultural drink that has only in the last few years begun to return to Nordic palates.

With backgrounds as home brewers and beer enthusiasts at various levels, we at Mjøderiet have ambitions to revitalize mead in Norway. We believe Norwegians are ready to take part in the international development where mead has made a comeback in several countries. We think mead is insanely exciting and is a drink with great potential.

Mjøderiet wants to spread knowledge about mead, revive the classic styles and experiment with new and exciting flavors. We want to have a foot in the old mead tradition and one in the new craft brewery culture, where we experiment with fruits and spices, different alcoholic strengths and different levels of carbonic acid.

The meeting room will have diversity.
We want quality, and genuine passion for precious drops.
For painstakingly collected honey from diligent bees. For real fruits and berries, for flavorful herbs and spices. And of course for exciting and unique flavor combinations.

We want to meet the people.

Klar mørk rød. Lukter bringebær og honning. Det samme i smaken. I tillegg noe sitron. Kunne med fordel vært noe fyldigere synes jeg.

Bottle, courtesy of the meadery. An unclear, almost murky, dark brown mead, still and headless. Strawberry, caramel, raspberry, hints of honey and some chili in the aroma. It's full bodied and smooth on the palate, with a very light maltiness. Strawberry, raspberry, caramel and some chili in the flavor, with a touch of honey. Lasting finish. Not sure if I like the strawberry here, but it's a fine drink anyway. 240907

Bottle, 25cl. An unclear deep purple colored mead, still and headless. Blueberry, lemon, prune hints and alcohol in the aroma. Honey, some booze and vanilla. It's full-bodied, sweet and waming on the palate, with lots of blueberry flavor. Booze, vanilla, honey and a touch of prune. Sweet, with a berry-like bitterness in the far back. Delicious indeed. Lasting finish. A very nice one, but I prefer the non-barreled version. 240821
