Lyme Bay Winery Tournament Mead
Mead 11 º
This opulent Metheglin presents a rich, dessert-like experience characterized by a deep mahogany hue and a robust honey foundation. The sensory profile is dominated by dark, caramelized honey notes reminiscent of molasses and toffee, beautifully married with a discreet, earthy ginger spice. On the palate, a lush sweetness envelopes the tongue, balanced by the gentle peppery warmth of ginger and a smooth, well-integrated 11% alcohol presence. The finish is long and velvety, showcasing the marriage of botanical spice and dense honey sugars. It is an indulgent mead that offers a sophisticated balance between botanical heat and sugary depth.
Appearance. Deep mahogany to dark copper (30-40 SRM); still with no head or carbonation; brilliant clarity with significant legs/viscosity on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity. Rich, dark honey character with notes of toasted marshmallow, molasses, and dark dried fruit. A subtle, clean, and spicy ginger aroma provides an earthy top note. Clean fermentation profile with a gentle, floral alcohol warmth and no yeast-derived off-flavors.
Taste. Intensely sweet and full-flavored. The honey character is complex, suggesting forest or wildflower honey with a thick, syrupy consistency. The ginger flavor is moderate and well-integrated, providing a light, drying spice that cuts through the sugar. No hop bitterness or noticeable acidity. The finish is lingering and sweet with a persistent ginger warmth.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and highly viscous; still (no carbonation); noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth; creamy, coating texture with a very slight ginger-derived astringency.
