Nose: Strong honey aroma with notable hibiscus and hops scents. Hints of oak and spice, particularly cinnamon and clove. Subtle notes of dried fruit and a touch of alcohol warmth.
Palate: Sweet honey upfront, balanced by tart hibiscus. Rich and full-bodied with a syrupy texture. Flavors of ripe berries, caramel, and mild oak. Spice notes become more pronounced, with cinnamon and nutmeg standing out. Slight hop bitterness adds complexity.
Finish: Long and warming. Honey sweetness lingers, gradually giving way to dry oak and spice. Subtle hop bitterness returns, providing a pleasant counterpoint to the residual sweetness. Leaves a gentle warmth in the throat, reminiscent of mulled wine.
Dansk Mjod Viking Blod Mead is crafted using a unique blend of honey, hibiscus, and hops, then fortified with neutral spirits to achieve its potent 19% ABV. What sets this mead apart is its aging process in oak casks, which imparts subtle woody notes and adds complexity to the final product.
