Viking Alchemist Meadery

Dry Meads

Mead is not always a sweet drink. Classic mead, like our Solification, has a crisp, lighter taste with a hint of honey, offering a warm feeling and lighter body. Sweeter than a chardonnay, a dry mead is akin to a Riesling.

SOLIFACTION

Our show mead, Solifaction forms the basis for many of our meads, setting a perfect tone to build upon. Probably our hardest working mead and a good indication of the care we put into consistency.

ANTINOMY

A surprising combination of cranberry and cherry forming an unusually tart flavor with a smooth finish. Antinomy is one of our most accessible meads, with just the right balance to appeal to most guests.

Sweeter Meads

Every Viking Alchemist mead comes with a profile gauge, helping you understand where the mead falls on the sweetness spectrum. Sweet meads offer a stronger honey profile and a sweeter palette similar to sherry or port, without the tartness.

BLISS

Bliss is made by adding pear and almond in secondary. You get a subtle amaretto aroma and flavor as you drink this sweet mead.

ETHEREAL

Peach Mead During a late summer raid in France the alchemist came across a bushel of peaches. After a hard day of raiding, the sweet refreshing flavor of the peaches inspired him to create this lightly flavored blush mead. Light, crisp and lively, this mead is perfect for sipping on the porch on a warm lazy summer afternoon. With or with out the raiding.

MANGATA

Blueberry Mead The Moon Road. Blueberries handpicked by shield maidens under the full moon using only the reflection of the deep almost purple shimmering waters of the fjords inspired the Alchemist. As he saw baskets overflowing with this perfect little berry he decided to to take his now perfected Solifaction mead and steep it with those berries to allow them to impart all their sweet flavors. Serve chilled like the crisp air of the starlit night in the north.
11%ABV

SKOL

Cherry Mead "Fill the honeyed beverage high; fill the skulls tis Odins cry" - The battle cry of the Vikings. The Alchemist was inspired when given a bushel of sweet cherries as the rich, dark red and sultry sweetness of cherries is reminiscent of the battlefield after the sweetness of victory.
11%ABV
