Description:
Leviathan Mead, from the renowned Williamson Mead and Brewing, stands as the sweet counterpart to its dry twin, Behemoth Mead. Named after the mythical sea beast, Leviathan, this mead channels the ancient, enigmatic creature that once ruled the oceans. In contrast to the land-bound Behemoth, Leviathan embodies the deep, mysterious nature of the sea, with its rich and profound sweetness. This duality between land and sea, dry and sweet, brings a harmonious balance to Williamson’s collection, with Leviathan offering a distinct experience rooted in myth and natural complexity. The heart of Leviathan Mead lies in its use of wildflower berry honey, considered the deepest and most complex honey available. The honey’s origins span a diverse array of blossoms, from robust wild napweed to delicate huckleberry and blackberry blooms. This blend gives the mead a multi-layered profile, offering floral, fruity, and earthy undertones that are as intricate and varied as the ocean’s depths. Each sip unveils a new facet, much like exploring uncharted waters, where every layer of flavor carries a unique story of the flowers visited by the bees. At a potent 12% ABV, Leviathan Mead’s sweetness is powerful yet balanced, ensuring that the richness of the honey doesn’t overwhelm but invites a deeper exploration of its flavors. The high alcohol content acts as a necessary counterbalance to the intensity of the honey, creating a mead that is both captivating and smooth. The sweetness lingers, much like the legends of the Leviathan, leaving a lasting impression with each sip. Leviathan Mead is not just a drink; it is a tribute to the ancient seas and the mysteries that lie beneath their surface. Its sweet, rich flavor profile invites you to dive into the deep waters of history and legend, savoring the complexity and enchantment of the mythical beast it represents.
