Asgard's Craft Met Classic - Extra Stark 16%

Honey, strength and a touch of Norse mythology: Asgard's Craft Met Classic Extra Strong is mead for those who prefer something with real presence in the glass. Dry, powerful and at 16%, clearly fuller than many modern meads.

This mead matures over a long period of time, allowing the honey to bring not only sweetness, but also depth, structure and an almost wine-like maturity. The style is dry and firm, with notes of floral honey, ripe apple, herbs, gentle spice and subtle warmth in the finish.

“Dry and divine like the wisdom of Odin himself”, as this mead is described. It may sound grand, but it actually suits the character very well: not sticky sweet, but mature, structured and serious. For those who can withstand the gaze of Odin.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Floral honey, ripe apple, light herbs and a soft floral touch. Behind that come notes of dried fruit, beeswax and subtle warming spice.

Palate

Dry and full with honey, apple, spice and a gentle wine-like structure. The long maturation adds depth and roundness, while the 16% ABV brings clear warmth and body without becoming heavy.

Finish

Medium to long with honey, herbs, light fruit notes and a dry, warming finale.

Serving suggestion

Serve slightly chilled in a wine glass or tulip glass. Excellent as an aperitif for lovers of drier styles, but also very interesting with aged cheese, spiced dishes, roasted meat or desserts with nuts and honey.

Asgard's Craft

Asgard's Craft connects to one of the oldest drink traditions in the world: mead, made from honey. While mead is often seen as sweet and simple, this Classic Extra Strong shows a more mature and powerful side.

With its dry style, long maturation and firm 16%, this is not an everyday honey drink, but a mead with character. A fine choice for lovers of distinctive drinks, historic styles and anything just a little outside the usual path.
