UPDATED: NOV 27, 2021 Bottle, 750 ml shared with Max, Miro B and Zec at my 10k tasting. Deep purple, almost black. No head. Intensive red and dark berries, honey, sweet, tad tart, juicy.

UPDATED: JUL 22, 2021 Third pint on draught at Brewdog Bar Paddington, London. Honestly can't believe I'm drinking this, this is one of those things I thought I'd never be able to get hold of. Very dark red / black colour, looks like a red wine. Massive sweet blackcurrant, sweet runny honey, jammy, crazy awesome fruit, woody, dark fruity, red grape / vinous, earthy, fruit compote, tannins, light tart blackcurrant, light blueberry, dry finish. Obscenely drinkable for something this rich and this high abv. Ridiculously awesome, when you die and go to Valhalla they hand you a glass of this I'm sure

UPDATED: JUL 9, 2021 On tap at BD Merchants City. Pours dark Ruby red with no head. Aroma is jammy red fruit, oak, tart red wine grape, honey, earthy notes. Taste is a real boozy hit, jammy red fruit, sweetness from honey takes off the boozy burn. Lovely sharp dry Berry fruit finish. Best mead I've tried.

UPDATED: JUL 4, 2021 Keg at brewdog merchant city. Pours deep ruby purple, nose is blackcurrant, honey, lemon, taste is incredibly juicy blackcurrant, honey, sweet, delicious.

UPDATED: MAR 5, 2021 375 ml corked bottle, Batch 12. Served in a snifter, the mead pours a dark reddish/purple color. I like the aroma, it smells like black currants/dark fruit, honey and some floral earthiness. Taste is similar to the aroma, but with the addition of some tart dark berries. I do think the overall flavor leans more sweet than tart. Mouthfeel/body is medium/full, it's coating and a bit syrupy, and pretty easy to drink. I liked this one a lot, definitely worth trying if you're able to!

UPDATED: JAN 3, 2021 Bottle from Tavour, 375ml, tall and thin. Looks about like grape juice. Aroma of black currant melded with floral honey, light spice. Flavor is a seamless blend of smooth sweet wildflower honey and lightly tart black currant. Obscenely good fruit flavor. Maybe a little on the sweet side if I have to criticize. Medium full body, extremely smooth, very low carbonation. One of the better fruited meads I’ve ever had.

UPDATED: DEC 25, 2020 375 ml corked and foiled. Aroma is black currant, honey, lightly woody, olive brine, chocolate. Pours still dark purple, like wine. Taste is highly sour (8/10), highly sweet but never cloying. Delicious.

UPDATED: OCT 11, 2020 375 ml bottle, batch 011 at 11% ABV, shared by Werckmeister, many thanks! Deep dark red body, without head. Amazing aroma with loads of black currant, fruit gum, dark honey, some almond, slight booze. Tastes similar, so rich and thick. Full, oily mouthfeel. Finishes smooth, sweet, rich, long-lasting, with loads of black currant again, honey, some fruit gum. Delicious! So dense and rich, with a perfect balance and ridiculous amounts of black currants. Almost perfect Melomel, among my favorite ones. Score: 9 / 4 / 9 / 5 / 17
