75 cl. bottle from skjold burne, allerød. reddish brown with a small white head. aroma is old beer, caramel, dark fruits, barley-wine’ish, honey, toffee, ginger. flavor is ginger, caramel, honey, toffee, booze, alc. intersting but too much ginger, and it comes off as an "old" beer not an old recipee.

FRO throwdown: Copper. Honey and flowers. Notes of agave/tequila? Am I crazy? Flavor is nicely fully sweet, with more peppery hints of tequila. Nice lingering lip-smacking sweetness.

70cl ceramic bottle, wonder how i’ll get through this one. 21.8% pours clear dark yellow, no head. spicy marcipan, honey that has gone bad aroma. not quite nice. flavor is very honey sweet, add a barrage of bitterness from alc, and lots of herbal notes after that. ends very herbal and warming. unusual mead that goes way beyond honey-booze and into herbal tea honey booze land. when i got accustomed with it i sort of "got" it and i think it tastes cool. "mynte" might be one of the spices. fresh mouthfeel. quite a shock to my palate as my prior beer was a roodenberg gran cru.

Skyview’s January 10, 2009 tasting. Lots of spice in the aroma and flavor. Sweet with honey. Opaque brown color. Spices in the flavor are very much those associated with Christmas, cinnamon, some ginger. I liked this more than most it seems.

ceramic bottle. pours orange, no head. aroma of honey, apricot and faint alc. flavor is slightly cellary, almost as if the ceramic bottle could be tasted. honey, mouldy, sweet, spices, something resembling but not quite apricot. ends bitter from the alc. what i call mouldy might actually be some spices, herbs. probably is.

Golden-amber. Still. Flowery, spicy, slightly gingery aroma. Very sweet, spicy, herbal, floral...complex. Surprisingly refreshing for such a rich, thick mead. Fun stuff.

Ceramic bottle. Brown amber nice colour. Powerfull spicey aroma. Vinius nice long finish. Syruply palate. NIce.

Clear amber with a tiny white head. Aroma was sweet with honey notes. Flavour was somewhat sweet with spices and caramel notes. To spicy im afraid.

Bottle labeled Old Danish Braggot. Not a good one. Pours with a large, foamy, off-white head and a hazy orange body. Great lacing. The good attributes end there. Aroma of candied sugar, ammonia, honey, flowers and some dark fruits. Taste is pungent and rotten with honey, ginger, astringency, pickled vegetables, and wine. Light bubbles. Bad recipe.
