Bottled (Apis Miod Poltorak Jadwiga). Amber colour, no head. Aroma wineous, caramelly and fruity. Very sweet. Flavour is honey, fruits and alcohol. Very sweet finish. Lovely honeyish aftertaste.

(Bottle) Beautiful warm, reddish amber with no head whatsoever. Sweet, alcoholic nose of caramel and alcohol. Extremely full-bodied and extremely complex flavour pattern with loads of honey and fruit acents. But this is EXTREMELY sweet - actually I don’t believe I’ve ever had anything this sweet in my life. I love its complexity but am having trouble with its sugary sweetness. 260806

Bottled@RBESG’06. Clear amber color, no head. Alcoholic, brandy-like aroma. Very sweet liquerish, sugary, loads of honey, not at all alcoholic. Beautiful mead.

750 ml Bottle. Got this at a Polish market in Schaumburg, IL. The label is green and black, and design is different, but the description on the back closely matches. So I can finally check off a commercial mead here. Pour is a nice honey gold, even close to a whiskey. Definitely a sweet honey color. And I kinda find the taste to my liking. The chokecherry juice gives a slightly bitter component to slightly match the honey sweetness. And any spices here are not overbearing. No sulfide or other processing traces. In fact, since I brought up the idea, it makes a real good whiskey mixer!
