Schramm’s Madeline is our boysenberry mead, made with whole boysenberries and Michigan honey. A cross between European raspberry, common blackberry and American dewberry, the boysenberry has a unique tannic flavor which combines wonderfully with carefully selected premium honey. The resulting mead is thick, jammy and extremely flavorful and pours dark purple with a very smooth, lightly tart finish. This mead is a tribute to our favorite, tiny release to date, Madeline June Schramm Naeger. Ten percent of sales of this mead are donated to the Royal Oak Beaumont NICU, where Madeline spent nearly the first three months of her life. She was beautiful when she was born, but we know she will continue to mature beautifully with age.

Bottle sample at a Yana's tasting at Max's place. Deep red. Very jammy berries, butter note, a bit of alcohol, sweet, a bit sourish, boozy.

50 cl bottle @ Nisha Craft Riga Aroma has sweet honey and some currant juice. Flavour has sweet honey, berry juice, intense fruitiness. Alcohol is present but does not disturb. Throat-warming and very intense, yet somewhat easy to drink. Gets some sugary sweet notes at the end of the glass.

Dr Pepper syrup-like. I’m not sure I could identify boysenberry outside of jam. Blackcurrant and light sweet berries. Lots of honey.

Panda at home, post first tasting back at Canary Wharf, my bad timing ... thanks to the Wingmane for this tall, slender and handsome bottle. This becomes my 8,000th US rate on RB. Deep claret to beetroot purple with a thin crimson crown. Nose is honey lozenge, blackcurrant Lockets, herb, Taste comprises raspberry syrup, sugars, honey drizzle, sweet bite. Full bodied, oily mouthfeel, semi drying close with a balanced spike of honey fuelled boost. Solid mead.
