Description

The Jarl’s Mead is lightly spiced with chilli flakes post-fermentation, giving it a gentle heat while also allowing the flavour of the chilli to come through. Described by some as “cinnamony warm”, this mead is best served at room temperature in small wine/port glasses as an accompaniment to rich, warm desserts – especially chocolate. For savoury accompaniments, you can’t go far wrong pairing chilli with cheddar cheese.

Brewed in tribute to the late, great Gordon Hannington, the Lancashire Mead Company donates £5 from every bottle of Jarl’s Mead they sell to charity.

The meads from the Lancashire Mead Company are probably best described as classic meads, with sweet and straightforward flavour profiles. They also tend to have a slight winelike “funk” that no doubt stems from close proximity to more experimental wild fermentations. While usually not strongly aromatic, they sit very pleasantly on the tongue and have both a mellowness and depth that make them extremely moreish. As such they are best enjoyed alongside cheeses or desserts that can serve as a contrast or a compliment to the sweetness of the mead, while also helping to prevent an entire bottle from “accidentally” vanishing.
