Our sweet black currant mead, Black Agnes, is named after one boisterous Scottish wench who successfully defended the Scottish Castle of Dunbar during a five-month siege by William Montague, the Earl of Salisbury. While relatively unknown in the United States, black currants have been grown in the British Isles for more than five hundred years, and used by herbalists since the Middle Ages. Sharply tart and acidic, the potent flavors of the fruit are perfectly balanced by the sweetness of premium honey to create a particularly unique, memorable and delicious mead.

28-09-19 // bottle shared at Mon Petit Cafe Suttgart on Zwanze Day 2019. Batch 8. holy shit. Lovely sweet nectar. i am not a big connoisseur of meads yet but this is awesome. Deep black currants on a sweetish thick honey body. Well balanced and so smooth.

Ultra super duper black currant honey yummy yummy in my tummy juice. Great mouthfeel, massively deliciously thick but smooth. Welsh's cranberry juice except top shelf black currant berries with super honey syrupy thick heaven. I want to chug and savour it

Phenomenal colour of ruby, mauve and black. Intensely fruity (though I would have guessed blackberry rather than blackcurrant), very intense and superb. Sweet-sourish, dark berries, superb fruitflavours, not a trace from the blackcurrantleaf, so often in beers. Lipsmacking sourness, restrained stickyness. The berryflavours in this mead are absolutely a delight.

Intensiver Beginn von Johannisbeeren, süßlich, etwas Honig, Saft. Dabei weniger süß als erwartet, die Frucht bringt eine milde Säure ins Met. Der Safteindruck verstärkt sich noch, dabei bleibt vom Met nicht viel übrig. Intensiv, nie alkoholisch, trockener Hintergrund von Johannisbeeren. Unsüffig. 10/11/8/10/12/10
