2010-06-06, RBESG 2010 Grand Tasting, 6-4-7-3-13=33
Amber color. Light aroma of hazelnuts, cookies, honey, in the order. Sweet flavor, with flowery accents, some raisins, very light honey. Pleasant, but not exciting.

2008-12-17, bottle at The Pembury Tavern, London, 7-4-7-4-15=37
Amber color, dark, still. Light aroma of forest honey, perfumy honey too. Good body, sweet, a bit syrupy, with some honey flavor, very light herbs, balanced bitterness; in the end it’s warming, but there is never any disturbing alcohol. Excellent.

A rum coloured mead with little floaties. A corkey sweet honey aroma, with gin alcohol, a bit bland. In mouth, sweet honey water, with light licorice, a bit of acidity, interesting. A notch above the dryish Quebec meads, though. Thanks to Inertiaboy, Jan. 2007.

Golden brown in colour, lovely aromatic honey nose, a deep rich complex multilayered honeyness. For my money one of the best meads around.
