>>15742917

>>15743331

>>15744016

>>15744662
I have a feeling it would be more popular if it actually tasted good.

>>15746464
What does it taste like?

>>15742917
>dude, check out my epic le viking mead! That's right, I drink mead like my nordic warrior ancestors! Holy heck, this one has le viking runes on it! I'm going to nurse this berry-flavoured one (called Vikings blood, how le epic is that!) and watch Game of Thrones!

Yeah, I'll stick with my superior English mead thanks

>>15746472
cloying

>>15746479
I agree with you in principle, but none of those bottles have runes on, they've just got Danish 'Ø's.
Also, who the fuck is impressed by a mead recipe 'from the 1700s'? I bet that stuff is backsweetened trash.

>>15746521
>I haven't tried it but blah blah blah
No one cares dick

>>15744218
>tfw I actually felt proud that I know bai=white and jiu=spirit

ffs I could have finally been proficient in Chinese or any other language during the chink flu but instead I just wasted all the extra time

>>15746533
Any mead described as sweet is, by necessity, either backsweetened trash or alcohol-crashed. Otherwise it would explode the bottle.

>>15746590
>from the 1700s
>backsweetened
pick one you clueless moron

Polska reporting in.

>>15746599
>'Based on a recipe from about 1700'
>'Based on'
Also, backsweetening has been a technique in alcohol production since at least Mesopotamia, so I think the Dutch had probably figured it out by the 1700s

hard to get a hold of outside of BC, but this stuff is fantastic
its a super dry heather mead

>>15746618
>quoting the OP mead whilst replying to a pic of Lindisfarne

>>15742917
this is the only mead at my liquor store
anyone ever try it?

>>15743331
fag

>>15746440
So in other words mead.

>>15746844
yeah but i mean with falvoring that isnt usual for typical mead

>>15746618
What do the Dutch have to do with this?

>>15742917
It’s funny that mead is globally considered some manly Viking drink. Then you taste it and it’s like sweet honey juice

>>15746472
It tastes like spiced honey

>>15746902
Danish, even. I'm tired, okay?

>>15746697
>Not reading context.

>>15746481
>>15746967
Sounds good to me.

>>15744662
>Odin's Skull
>two eyes

Also, why are Danes so afraid of compound words now? Shouldn't it be Klapøjstermjød as one word?
I blame American Influences.

>>15747004
Sorry, I forgot I did actually mean to stay on topic as well.
I've tried most the selection from Mjødladen and found them to be probably nice as dessertwines but too sweet to drink in any decent quantity on their own.
I did still sip my way through all of them at the stand at the faire in Odense a few years ago, though. The guy had a whole seller's spiel written down but hadn't learnt it by heart, so he just stood there and read aloud form a laminated sheet about he always offers that one when he has friends over and uses that one to marinade chicken etc.
It was pretty funny.

>>15743331
heh

Is this stuff expensive? How taxed is it? Can you get drunk on it without getting sick/beetus?

>gross sweet ass mead
>caraway

>>15746590
Retard yeast has abv limits. Its really difficult to get past 20% on straight fermentation.

Its simple math a retard can do. Lbs honey + water -->specific gravity-->%alcohol depending on yeast strain.

>>15744218
drank shuang Jin chiew damn near every day through my senior year of high school. I'll never forget my dad thinking it was literal paint thinner as he asked me why I was so desperate to get fucked up

Mjød er for bøsser.

>>15744662
I had the Gammel Dansk Mjod once, was pretty tasty. Seems like they changed the design of the bottles for the worse, tho: https://mjod.dk/

i make my own and never backsweeten. tastes much better than the store bought stuff i've tried, like a dry white wine sort of
