Masterful black currant blending of sweetness and tartness to hit you upfront real quick with jam but have a nice short finish that reminds you of a childhood memory of happiness and living carefree. Dangerously smooth and dangerously happy

375 ml corked and foiled. Aroma is black currant, honey, lightly woody, olive brine, chocolate. Pours still dark purple, like wine. Taste is highly sour (8/10), highly sweet but never cloying. Delicious.

375 ml bottle, batch 011 at 11% ABV, shared by Werckmeister, many thanks! Deep dark red body, without head. Amazing aroma with loads of black currant, fruit gum, dark honey, some almond, slight booze. Tastes similar, so rich and thick. Full, oily mouthfeel. Finishes smooth, sweet, rich, long-lasting, with loads of black currant again, honey, some fruit gum. Delicious! So dense and rich, with a perfect balance and ridiculous amounts of black currants. Almost perfect Melomel, among my favorite ones. Score: 9 / 4 / 9 / 5 / 17 2023-08-13: Batch 15. As amazing as the previous one, extremely rich, fruity and deep, with dense blackcurrant and characterful dark honey. Slightly boozy in the finish.

375ml bottle. Sweet, super tasty and balanced with some blackcurrant juice notes, honey, oak, vanilla, vinous notes, berries and tannins. Great mead.
