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.

Bottle. A clear chestnut colored beer, still and oily. Honey, bourbon, cherry notes, vanilla, alcohol, generic fruityness and some dried fruits. It's full-bodied, oily and warming, sweet, with a good honey and fruityness flavor. Vanilla, sweetness, alcohol, sweetness and some berry-ish sourness in the flavor. Cherry, some raspberry and a faint hint of blackcurrant. Even some cocoa and caramel. Lasting finish. Hides the alcohol super-well, tastes really nice, and is well worth a revisit if possible. 220417

Bottle. An oily mead, deep golden in color, still and headless. Looking beautiful actually.The aroma has a bit more honey than I expected, with alcohol, booze, some pecan, flowers and vanilla, a touch of maple syrup and some very faint woody hints. It's full-bodied, warming and lightly sticky on the palate, with a very light tannin touch. Honey, flowers, some vanilla and lime, pecan and a good dash of maple syrup in the flavor. Not much impact from the barrel ageing detected in the flavor, but there's much more maple syrup than in the aroma. And in the very end, the maple syrup shines even brighter. A delicious one indeed, pity I didn't prepare any food pairing. 220313

On tap at Nærbø Ølfestival. Courtesy of the meadery. It's an almost clear one, amber to brown in color, oily and flat. The aroma has a load of berries, raspberry standing out, with alcohol, a touch of flowers and cocoa, and of course some honey. It's warming, full-bodied and oily on the palate, super-smooth, with a light sugary flavor and feeling. Berry-driven flavor too, still raspberry doing most of the heavy labour. Alcohol notes, some flowery honey touches, cocoa and toffee, which I guess is from the barrel treatment, and then a quite intense and lasting flavor continuing in the same direction. Sure a delicious, complex and tasteful one. 191005
