2001 Vintage. An extra dark brown mead with a pleasing ild honey aroma, with light orange notes. In mouth, a superb sensuous buckwheat honey, cloves. A mead for viking kings. Thanks to Inertiaboy, Jan. 2007.

Bottled. Clear, and very nice mahogany body. Aroma is pretty much honey and alcohol. The flavor is straight forward honey with too much alcohol.

Bottle. Clear, golden mead. Flowers, honey, sugar and heather in the aroma. Honey, alcohol, heather and sweetness in the mouth. Sweetish and oily mouthfeel. I liked the aroma, but it tasted bad and had too much alcohol. (070430)

Bottle. Clear, golden, with a white head. Malt, honey, flowers and sugar in the aroma. The flavor has sweetness and honey, some dried fruits, candied citron-peel, and some nuttyness and cardamom notes. Medium body. The finish has honey, sweetness and candied citron-peel. Way to much honey for my taste. (070427)

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a hazy, amber golden with an off-white head. Sweetish aroma with the honey really showing. Quite full-bodied with a soft mouthfeel and a heavy honey sweetness. The bitterness is very subdued. Quite lovely. 050407

Bottled. An amber beer with a slight haze under a huge off-white head. The aroma is quite sweet with notes of dust, honey, flowers, and rose hips. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of honey hitting right away, then comes notes of rose hips, malt, candy sugar, and flowers along, leading to a sweet honey end, though with a slight bite from the alcohol. A very interesting mixture of mead and beer.

Thanks to aracauna for sharing this at the pre cask tasting. The pour is clear medium yellow. Still, viscous and leggy. Big alcohol and honey aroma and flavor. Very sweet sipper.
