Bottle. Nose is lovely malt, hazelnut, hint of toffee and red berry. Taste is malty, toffee, leading to caramel, dough, and a dry lightly bitter finish. Smells better than it tastes.

100ml sample as a gift from danlo. Thanks, Ed. Deep golden brown and clear. No head. Honey and naked alcohol on the simple but effective aroma. Sweet taste, boozy, more a hint of the grape juice at the finish. There's not a lot to this drink but that doesn't stop it from being completely gorgeous. Recommended.

100ml sample, courtesy of danlo. Deep translucent red. Smells of cherry liqueur with honey just peeping through. Sweet taste, fairly boozy, getting loads more cherry here. Warming finish, light fruit sourness. Oily body, no carbonation. Not a lot to it but it's inoffensive enough and a nice boozy mead.

Mamy thanks to Jacek Wigier (wine of dreams in Warsaw). Miód pitny wodnisty że nazwałbym go piątkiem albo szostakiem. A piwa w smaku brak. W zapachu miód wielokwiatowy, smak lekki delikatny mod z wodą. Ocena zawyżona bo chociaż minimalnie pomaga na przeziębione gardło.

Thin tan head left a spotty cover on an unclear reddish brown coloured body. Toffee & caramel aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a sharp sticky back. Toffee, nutty, caramel & sweet berry tastes with a lightly hopped bitter finish. Nice one.
