Elderberry and blackberry mead with cinnamon and vanilla.
Elderberries pack the mead with deep color, tannins, rich dark fruit flavors and subtle notes of licorice, while the blackberries bring a fresh acidity and bright fruit flavors to the mix. A light touch of cinnamon and vanilla plays a supporting role, adding a culinary twist that transforms the mead into something reminiscent of a dessert fruit sauce.
To Mikkel, Daniel, Dio, Luke and the rest of the Mikkeller team: Thank you for the honor of creating the gold bottle for 2026! It's been a pleasure working on this with you.

8.4/10
Loads of blackcurrant juice concentrate, some cinnamon, hints of vanilla, jammy berries, sweetness and Finrexin. Not the best Marlobobo, but still pretty intense and tasty.
