0.1l ceramic bottle, waxed and corked with a tiny toy-tork kindly provided to me by ElDesmadre. Know you have been hunting these down for a while, so much appreciated. Have been saving this for a while now, and I have to admit I had at first no idea on how to get this bottle opened, but I managed after some clever engineering. Anyhow, I'm pouring this into my De Molen tasting glass, and it pours a light blurry copper-brown colored thing - much the same as a good whisky looks like. Simply amazing in the glass. So much going on on the aroma! It's of course honey-sweet, but there are so many small nuances of so many different things in here. To mention some, I get hay, grass, benzine, dark syrupy fruit extract of bot strawberries, cellary gooseberries, wood, furniture stored on the attic carpet and something slightly lemony as well. Quite unique. Time to taste: Yupp, it's really as a good mead should be. Sticky, sweet, heavy concentrated and really tasty. Not as amazing as the aroma perhaps, but still pretty darn nice. Old honey from the can, hay, flowers, cough syrup, lots of sweet raisins, wooden dark furniture, deep stored sherry and caramelized glazed strawberries. Loaded with flavor, so much that the tiniest amount is enough to set the buds in overdrive. Mead is such a funny invention, and you just gotta love it. 23.01.2013

750ml bottle 08’ vintage. Pours out a copper/gold. Aroma is great tons of honey sweetness, vanilla, light on the booz. Taste is honey sweetness, little oak maybe. A little thin but still very tasty.

This is probably the palest of all Polish mead, it pours a pale yellow color, thick, with nice legs on the glass. The aroma is fresh, reminiscent of summer fields, and freshly cut wood; it can be associated to many German meads that use lime tree honey.
Syrupy, very sweet; strong flavor of lime tree honey, with a pleasant herbaceous character, and a light nutty/bitter touch in the final.
Summer in a glass.
Not as complex as other Polish meads, but brewed with the usual skills; direct and elegant.

Notes from 6/12. 5oz-ish pour from a 750ml tall display bottle @ Sunset Grill. My near the bottom of the bottle sample seems a bit darker then some of the other reviews indicate. Old age, lighting, oxidation, probably. A very dark brown with hints of deep maroon. Smells of maple syrup, old wood, & fortified wine. Taste is awesome. Deeply pungent honey & dark fruit, with a mild herbal bitterness on the finish. Brown sugar. Pleasant oxidation. Potent. Feels a bit warmer then 13%, but there’s no burn. Saturated & coating(but not quite sticky) texture. Regal. :)

Amber color, hazy. Deep aroma, yes, mead, and some berries, alcohol. Thick mouthfeel, luscious honey flavor, ambrosia, raspberry jam, notes of caramel, and warming alcohol to balance it out.
Just amazing.

Measured Final Gravity: 1032 (this must be wrong)
Amber color with red hue. It has the classic Polish mead nose, with honey and elegant fruit profile, plus some raspberries. Very sweet, almost syrupy; it has a strong honey character, evident raspberries and powerful alcohol punch. The fruit provides a bit of tannic bitterness too, and a correct level of acidity, that maybe is the best trait.
The most fruity one of all Polish meads, as I can remember; and too much for me; also, too much alcohol.

Ceramic bottle, corked; this bottle is 13% ABV
the tax label reads 2008 and it was purchased indeed in 2009
Measured Final Gravity: 1026
It pours a hazy dark amber color with a hue that suggests oxidization. The aroma is nice, not as deep as others, with a light trace of dust, and some Sherry note. Sweet mead, yet not syrupy; good flavor, some caramelized sugars, a fruity presence makes this mead pleasant and easy to drink; the acidity level is correct; but there is a light trace of oxidization, and light final astringency. The final is rather short.
Very good as usual, not exceptional; I wonder if the bottle was opened before buying.

Bottle thanks to my Mom for Christmas! Pours a deep copper with a hint of gold and no head whatsoever. Aroma has a nice note of smooth honey, but has a good amount of backing booze as well. Flavor starts with a nice sweet honey note with a hint of light fruit but the finish is quite boozy and harsh.
