Kung mjöd - Gorm den gamle

Gorm the Old is a sweet, full-bodied and complex mead. It Is characterized by an intense honey sweetness and heavy notes from the cask, which is balanced nicely by a fresh acidity and a light bitterness. It's smoky and full-bodied richness is similar to that of heavy barrel-aged red wines.

Serving suggestions:
• It is a sweet mead, whose primary edible companions would be found amongst cheeses and desserts. Since it has a richness from the cask-aging alongside lighter tannins, it is one of the rare meads with a potential for going well with red meat.
• With desserts or cheeses the mead functions as a Sauternes. Its intensity requires strong and sharp cheeses or heavy and complex desserts. Desserts based on honey or caramel can be recommended.

Glassware and temperature:
• Gorm the Old has an unusually intense aroma and can therefore be served in large glasses. It should not be served in glasses that accentuate its sweetness, so the best choice would be a classic Bordeaux glass.
• Serve slightly chilled 10-12 ℃
