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.

25/7/2018. Bottle from CentrAle, Newcastle. Pours deep amber with an average sized lasting off-white head. Nice looking beer. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, hops, hint of nut and chocolate, fruit and light herb. Medium plus sweetness, moderate bitterness, slightest hint of berry sour. Medium body, oily texture, above average carbonation. Pretty decent brew.

Aus der Flasche im 2018-07 auf Holy Island getrunken. Deutlich süßer Honig mit weihnachtlichen Gewürzen und leichter Apfelnote. Im Abgang verschwindet die Süsse schnell und die Apfel und Gewürznoten bleiben recht lang erhalten. Mir ist die Süsse dann doch etwas zu heftig, aber die anderen Aromen machen das Teil recht spannend.

Aus der Flasche im 2018-07 auf Holy Island getrunken. Dieses dunkle Met erinnert nicht nur in der Farbe an dunklen Rum, sondern auch etwas im Geschmack. Doch neben der kräftigen Süsse ist nicht viel und macht das Met doch sehr eindimensional. Wer es mag - Cheers!

Bottle from the meadery. Clear copper-gold. Syrupy mouthfeel. Extremely sweet, the cinnamon and cloves are way too heavy giving a cough mixture impression. Cloying and unpleasant, a big disappointment after the black beer and honey version.

Bottle from the meadery. Clear dark honey colour. Thick, oily texture. Very sweet at first, before the flavours start to develop - muscovado sugar, honey, brown bread and Christmas cake. Just enough dark notes to stop the sweetness taking over. The more I drank, the more I liked it.

Bottle from Taste Of Northumbria. Appearance - deep amber brown and autumnal red. Decent fluffy head. Nose - very elusive then gentle fudge notes. Taste - more fudge, some hazelnuts. Hint of chocolate. Palate - medium bodied and creamy. Fairly elegant if a bit thin on the finish. Overall - solid.
