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.

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.

Deep dark reddish purple. Smells rich, super jammy, loads of berries, sweet. Smooth body, some boozyness, yet surprisingly light. Taste is intense berries, some light of vanilla, and something I can't really place, like plum skins. Complex.
