Kung mjöd - Sweyn Forkbeard

Sweyn Forkbeard is a semi-sweet mead. In spite of an intensely sweet aroma, the taste is far milder, since the sweetness is kept in check by sharp fruity acidity and tannic bitterness. It is the lightest in our King's Mead line and it has a much more raw and rustic appearance than its predecessors. Sweyn's mead is fresh, tart and with a lovely aftertaste of the well-known meadowsweet, that lingers on the palate.

Serving suggestions:
• The high acidity and bitterness in Sweyn Forkbeard make it suitable alongside salty dishes in spite of its intense sweetness.
• Salty and rich meat dishes such as pork confit and pork rinds make for some nice combinations of flavours.
• When it comes to desserts, the best pairings are found amongst the tart but heavy candidates. Apple trifle, apple pie or desserts made from fall berries.

Glassware and temperature:
• Sweyn Forkbeard should be served in a glass that enhance its sweetness; port wine and tulip glasses bring forth the fullest experience of the mead.
• Serve slightly chilled 10-12 ℃
