What is Dansk Mjod Odin's Skull Mead?

Dansk Mjod Odin's Skull Mead is a potent honey wine that pays homage to Norse mythology, crafted with a blend of honey, hops, and spices. This Danish mead boasts an impressive 19% ABV, making it one of the strongest commercially available meads in the world, and is traditionally consumed from a horn or skull-shaped vessel to fully embrace its Viking heritage.

Why do we love Dansk Mjod Odin's Skull Mead?

Cocktail enthusiasts should embrace Dansk Mjod Odin's Skull Mead for its powerful Nordic character and exceptional versatility in mixed drinks. This Danish honey wine stands out with its robust 19% ABV, rich vanilla and oak notes from barrel aging, and the inclusion of hops – an unusual ingredient for mead that adds complexity and balance to cocktails.

How do you drink Dansk Mjod Odin's Skull Mead?

Dansk Mjod Odin's Skull Mead shines when served chilled in a tulip glass, allowing its complex honey and fruit notes to unfold gradually as it warms. This robust mead is perfect for sipping neat on cool autumn evenings, pairing wonderfully with rich, savory dishes like roasted game or aged cheeses, though it also adds depth to spirit-forward cocktails that typically call for whiskey or aged rum.

Nose: Honeyed sweetness dominates, backed by rich butterscotch and caramel notes. Subtle hints of oak and vanilla emerge, along with a faint whiff of alcohol warmth. Light floral aromas reminiscent of wildflowers and meadow herbs add complexity.

Palate: Thick and velvety texture coats the tongue. Intense honey flavors lead, followed by layers of toffee, dried fruits, and toasted nuts. A spicy warmth builds, bringing cinnamon and ginger notes. The 19% ABV is noticeable but not overwhelming, providing a pleasant heat that complements the sweetness.

Finish: Long and warming. The honey sweetness lingers, gradually giving way to a drier, slightly tannic oak character. Hints of baking spices and a touch of citrus peel emerge in the aftertaste. A subtle alcoholic warmth remains, leaving a satisfying glow.

Dansk Mjod Odin's Skull Mead is crafted using a unique blend of malted barley, hops, and honey, which is then fermented with ale yeast. This distinctive production process results in a hybrid beverage that combines elements of both beer and traditional mead, creating a complex and flavorful drink that pays homage to ancient Norse brewing traditions.

  • Dansk Mjod Odin's Skull Mead is infused with hops, giving it a unique bitter note that balances the sweetness - a technique rarely used in traditional mead making.
  • At 19% ABV, this mead is stronger than most wines and even some fortified wines, making it one of the most potent commercially available meads in the world.
  • The recipe for Odin's Skull Mead is based on a thousand-year-old Viking tradition, but it includes a secret blend of spices that the makers claim helps prevent hangovers.

      I'm a beer drinker, so this is ne to me.....

      I'll admit it- I'm a geek, only reason I bought this fine spirit was, in my youth I was a D&D enthusiast, and in the game the only three likely adult beverages were ale, wine...and mead. Ever since I was 18 I had always wanted to try mead, just to satisfy my curiosity. So here I am now- in my 50's, and my curiosity had FINALLY gotten the better of me....and I wasn't disappointed !

      10/10 would buy again and found myself willing to explore other labels of mead.

      Thanks Curiada for a new taste to explore....*cheers ;)

      Pie in a bottle

      One of the most delightful meads I have ever had the pleasure of drinking. As my title says it's like an apple pie if you distilled it into alcohol. My personal recommendation for consumption is to warm it slightly and and sip slowly with a cinnamon stick.
