ABV: 14.0%

IBU: -

Ticks: 12

Our Blackberry Sec mead is vinous, dry, and earthy with potent blackberry aromatics. Like many great wines but unlike most meads, our Blackberry Sec has undergone a malolactic fermentation to soften the acidity in balance with the lowered residual sugar content. The result is a uniquely dry yet fruit focused melomel. This dry mead pairs exceptionally well with duck or a steak cooked rare. Batch #01 Release Date: 03-08-2014

Taste is tiny sweet, slightly sour and fruity with honey, blackberries, moist wood, red wine, pepper corns, orange zest and lemon zest. Mouthfeel is dry, tart, tiny boozy and medium bodied. Finish is slightly sour and fruity with blackberries, dark grapes, moist wood, honey, red wine, hay, orange zest and lemon zest. Interesting...

Bottle. Thanks xenix85! Deep murky purple/brown liquid with no head. Aroma of blackberries, cinnamon, honey, sweet alcohol and cardamom. Taste is light sweet with notes of blackberries, light licorice, cardamom and honey. Medium bodied with no carbonation and light sticky mouthfeel. Nice stuff.
