100mL bottle. Pours a clear pale blonde. Light honey, some wax, and a library-like perfume character on the nose. Flavour is somewhat dry with light, attenuated honey, floral notes, and more of that perfume character. The spice character isn't actually that bad, but the mead beneath is pretty thin.

100mL bottle. Pours clear pale blonde. Lots of honey nectar and earthy, woody spices on the nose. Flavour has a much stronger spice character, bitter woodiness, slightly floral, and a dry honey character. The nose is nice, but the flavour falls a bit flat for me.

100mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden. Nose has a nice honey nectar quality, an indescribable array of spices that see rather cohesive, and gentle floral undertones. Flavour is fairly spicy, with pine needles perceptible amidst all the spices, light honey nectar, and subtle floral notes. The sweetness is subdued by the spices. Good.

100mL bottle, pours a clear blonde. Aroma is full of spices—cinnamon, herbal notes, who knows what else—gentle floral honey. Flavour is moderately spicy and nearly excessively spicy, with some chili peppers, cinnamon, herbal spices, and alcohol. Not complex and lacking honey depth, but reasonably constructed. Pleasant but far from great.

Bottle pour at Mead Museum, pours a cloudy dark amber brown. Aroma is intense, with quite a melange of spices—hard to begin to know how to describe—with buried honey. Flavour is intensely spicy, with huge gentian root and other who-knows-what spices, deep honey nectar, and treacly toffee. Surprisingly great.

Medovinárna, thx mcberko! Brown body, vit hazy. Lowely combination of peppery herbal notes and bit minerally and full honey. Gingerbread spices absolutely dominate then sweetish taste which is then battered by a strong bitter herbal finish. Lovely and annoying, Christmasey but not for everyone. Nice!

Bottle pour at Medivarna. Pours clear gold with a slight rose hue. Grainy honey and reserved cherry on the nose. Flavour has a fairly boozy honey character with very little cherry detectable. Enjoyable, but far from the best.

After drinking the 18y a while ago, my expectations for this are very high ! Pours a clear copper. Scent is very... Different than expected. Butterscotch ( is diacetyl even a thing in mead? ) vanilla, oak, stale pudding ( I know, doesn't seem to make sence in tekst format). Honey is a bit hidden. Taste is smooth, sweet, stale vanilla coockies, mild toothpaste (weird) freshness. Not overly convinced about this one. Doesn't even reach the knees of the 18 y old. Very buttery.
