Batch 4 bottle shared at Your Old Droog Cellar Blast. Pours a deep ruby to purple with nice legs. Deep notes of blackcurrant, raspberry and blackberry on the nose. Palate is simlar with loads of blackcurrant and dried honey. Smooth and rich, full-bodied experience on the palate. Just lovely.

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.
Jammiest black agnes ever? Also high acidity but it's cool cause I love the straight currant jam in this. Syrupy thickness.

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.

23/V/21 - 37.5cl bottle @ De Gebrande Winning (St. Truiden), BB: n/a, no mention of batch either. I have no clue how people determine which batch they’ve had... (2021-426) Thanks to ElManana for sharing today’s beers!
Clear dark purple to deep ruby mead, very adhesive, leaving some tears in the glass. Aroma: lots of black currants, berries, some blueberries, nice stuff! MF: medium to full body. Taste: sourish, lots of berries, lovely, some jam, more acidic as well, red currants, alcohol. Aftertaste: lovely, alcohol, nice sweet/sour balance, lots of black currants.

Mmmmmore of this yummmmyness. Deep purple, without smoke. Big smell of blackcurrant jelly. Soft, smooth, velvety mouthfeel with just a hint of tartness at the tip of your tongue. Taste is a ridiculous richness of honey and currants. Amazing balance.
16/6/22: Very dark purple. Intense jammy smell of blackcurrants, so much fruit. Smooth, sticky, thick, rich. Taste is just as intense as the smell, if not more. Crazy amount of fruit. Sweet yet tart enough to counter it. Great balance, and so delicious. Stunning.

Very dark purple, near black. Great viscosity, of course. Smell is straight blackcurrant concentrate, with a hint of honey. Taste is typical Schramms super rich jammyness with Suezloads of fruit. Blackcurrant in its purest, with just enough honey. Great. Maybe not my favorite fruit, but 5 because it's just the most intense fruityness I've had from them so far. Perfect tart-sweet balance.
