Maritim rating med EO, OG og KH ombord på Fridtjofen (Havnedagene i Haugesund) aug-19: Flaske fra samlingen til Ovesen Sr. Klar mahogny. Forfinet aroma og smak med toner av edel sherry, gammel portvin, sviskeplommer, korinter, kanel, lynghonnning og litt lær. Minimum 25% iflg etiketten. En elegant avslutning på en ypperlig kveld i særdeles godt lag.

Sampled from a bottle this mead poured a very pale yellow color with a trace soapy white head that faded instantly. The aroma was sweet with sugar, tannin, pear and a harsh boozy note. The flavor was sweet and tangy with sugar, pear, apple and a bit of tannin. Medium length finish. Moderately full bodied and smooth.
