175ml glass from St Peter’s Ale House, Bedford. Light yellow, the colour of white wine. Flat. Slightly sour spicy smell. Hint of potpourri. Full sweet taste; it has a nice boozy kick. Thick mouthfeel. Sour orange peel, nutmeg and honey aftertaste. Grows on me. Quite nice.

Bottle from St Aiden’s Winery, Holy Island - Dark clear amber, no head. Nose is honey, naturally, with a wee bit of cinnamon and nutmeg. Taste is medicinal, but warming and pleasant. Oily and slick. Nice.

Bottle from Fortnum & Masons. Consumed cold originally. It pours a rich, clear golden colour. The rich, oily, sweet apple pie, stewed pear, honey and festive spice. The taste is slick, almond, marzipan, stewed apple, poached pear, festive spices, warming alcohol and earth with a smooth finish. Medium body and slick, oily mouth-feel. Works quite nicely with the spice. 3.3 overall. Second sitting we had this one hot as recommended by the meadery. Works much better in my opinion. Spice and warming alcohol are almost intoxicating. Opens it up and makes it way more drinkable. Very nice overall. 3.7. Average score is 3.5.

350ml bottle given as a gift from the island - Amber body, no head. I think it is supposed to be like this. Nose is a strong mix of grape juice and honey, with a large hit of alcohol. Taste is syrupy, like a sweet wine, with a warm finish. First time I’ve had mead, and probably my last. A very average drink that no doubt has its fan-base.
