First rating70 cl bottle bought in Copenhagen. Tried on August 27, 2006. Clear amber to golden color (of course no head and no CO2). Sweet honey and spice of some sort scent, also of alcohol. Indeed a very sweet smell. Behind it all some sorts of citrus fruit scent, perhaps the spice "crushed peels of Seville orange" is used? Very smooth mouth feel, sweet but also a bit spicy taste. A bit oily feeling. (No bitterness of course...) I really like this one, but I guess I don’t judge it after the same scale as I usually rate beer.9/4/8/4/16=4.1RerateBottle at mead tasting on November 2, 2012.Thanks to Nisse666!Clear copper color, very small bubbly head. Sweet, alcohol, resin scent. Dandelion, alcohol, raissin, resin taste. Warming alcohol. Smooth mouthfeel, sweet finish.8/3/8/4/16=3.9

[Bottled] Hazy golden, rich head. Balsamic honey aroma. Very sweet with soft mouthfeel. The alcohol is rather well hidden, but the sweetness gets excessive. No detected bitterness. An interesting cross between mead and beer.

Bottled. Clear amber. Aroma of honey, herbal spices and alcohol. Very sweet, and the smooth warming qualities of Vikingernes Mjød is replaced by burning alcohol and intense sweetness. In the end it tastes more like vodka diluted with honey than anything else. I’m not very impressed, even though some of the herbal notes are really nice .
