bottle Ft Wayne tasting courtesy of thedm and hotstuff, who could easily start a site called ratemead.com - This golden liquid has a honey and alcohol aroma. The flavor is heavy on the sweet honey with some herbal notes. It’s definitely warming as one would expect from 19% abv. The mouthfeel is almost syrupy and the finish continues to be sweet. Enjoy it for dessert or late in the evening as you would a port.

330ml bottle. Golden body with a big white head. Strong, perfumed, floral aroma. Only notes of honey. Flavor is Sweet, fruity, honey – lots of honey, and herbal candy. Very sweet, but not totally out of balance as some sweet meads could be.

(Ceramic bottle 70 cl) Courtesy of yngwie. Clear, warm, orangey brown. Fat honey aroma and some distinct alcohol. Surprisingly comes a little light in body, notes of honey and burned caramel and a burning alcohol spark in the finish. Not unpleasant but perhaps not the most balanced. 071007

Strong perfume-like honey aroma, very floral. Shimmering gold color and still. Sweet taste and alcohol doesn’t mesh up well Aside from dark honey, there is a taste of mango and white grapes. Dried leaves on the palate.
