Nose: Rich honey sweetness upfront, followed by notes of ripe pear and golden raisins. Subtle spicy hints of cinnamon and nutmeg emerge, alongside a faint whiff of oak.

Palate: Full-bodied and luscious. The honey flavors intensify, accompanied by juicy apple and dried apricot. A warming alcohol presence carries notes of vanilla and toasted almonds. The spice notes from the nose become more pronounced, with clove joining the mix.

Finish: Long and satisfying. The sweetness gradually fades, leaving a pleasant warmth and lingering flavors of honey, baking spices, and dried fruit. A subtle tannic quality from the oak provides a gentle drying effect, balancing the overall sweetness.

Dansk Mjod Ribe Mjod Mead is crafted using an ancient recipe that blends honey, hops, and spices, then ages the mixture in oak barrels for several months. This traditional Danish mead stands out for its use of hops, an uncommon ingredient in most meads, which adds a subtle bitterness and complexity to balance the honey's sweetness.
