Orange and tawny gold in colour with a pale meniscus. The nose is similar to the Honey Mead except for lifted spicy cinnamon and clove aromas above and beyond the beeswax smells. The spices continue onto the tea-leaf and golden syrup like palate, making it the ideal drink to be served heated. Most spiced mead is drunk in cold weather in front of a log fire, or from a thermos when out fishing. It should be warmed until steam rises, but definitely not boiled. When served in this way the delicious aromas and flavours meld together to provide an exquisite, warming beverage. Maxwell Spiced Mead does not benefit from further bottle maturation and can be kept for 3 months after opening if refrigerated.

    Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

    Brown / orange body more brown I guess, and completely flat like all meads, looks nice but boring, not really a fan of this style of “beer”. The aroma is very sweet, cinnamon and cloves dominate the smell very spicy, smells like Christmas a touch of warm alcohol thrown in the mix to. Very sweet tasting, sickeningly sweet tasting in fact, and besides the insane sweetness all you can really taste is the cinnamon. The feel is very thin but yet soft, not enjoying it, the after taste is like chewing cinnamon gum. I guess this taste ok buy no way in hell I could ever drink more than one glass of this in a year, just too sweet for my liking and for the price it just aint worth it.
