Starker Honig Antrunk, der durch die erkennbaren Gewürze eher noch verstärkt wird. Rund süffig, langer Nachgeschmack, in dem der Honig erheblich länger als die Gewürze hält. Gut! 9/12/12/12/9/12

Keg @ White Lion, Heptonstall. Copper coloured cider. Full-bodied although it’s strength is not overpowering. Has a crispness about it but a little thin in taste despite a pretty good apple nose.

Bottle at Reading BF 2014. Clear gold no head. Spicy hazelnut nougat aroma. Haven’t had a mead in ages. It’s lovely. Love the cinnamon mixed with the hazelnut praline. Delicious. God I love mead. It’s sweet and decent. Slightly sour from the spice too. Wow
