Viscosity is plain sick in this batch. So much sugar, so heavy on the black currants, so extremely tasty! Glad I have more to age.

This Mead is a dark ruby-purple color with a minimal head and sticky legs on the glass. The aroma consists of black currant, cherry and honey. Full-bodied with flavors of tart black currant, floral honey and black cherry. The finish is sweet-tart with a lingering black currant aftertaste. Excellent overall.

Oxford tastings, corked bottle; 11% ABV
Dark ruby color. Very deep aroma of currants, vanilla cake, green leaves; later, it shows aroma of German waldhonig mead; this is wonderful. Full bodied, silky, luscious; pure currant syrup flavor, pungent tartness, strong tannins, hint of vanilla.
Not a mead at all, but a wonderful fruit wine.

Purple. Ok, smells like black currant, Tastes like blackcurrant. Sweet, syrupy. So a blackcurrant dessert wine (literally, Elephant Island Black Currant Wine), or a kir. I really do not get any honey character. It's tasty, because the fruit character is bright and expressive, backed by a really rich, happy sweetness with what, a clover honey sweetness(?) and even a touch of tannins in the finish. Hesitate to legitimize this as a mead, though, because it's not, and it's going to have to lose points for that. LOL expensive, so much base honey, residual honey and massive fruit.

375mL bottle, pours a deep dark burgundy. Aroma is incredibly decadent, with heaps of pithy black currant, followed by lightly sweet honey - oh man, the fruit is impeccably deep and penetrating. Flavour is very sweet, with a wonderful honey sweetness and immensely potent black currants. Sweet, but not cloying, penetrating the taste buds to a perfect degree. Elegant and impeccably crafted. Wonderful.

Tasting @ Tim's. Pours dark red, thick and with high viscosity. Nose has beewax, lots of black currants, booze but also some vinous wine character and tannins. Taste surprises me with strong black currant character, tannines, fresh berries. Warming and has sweetness but not too much of it there. Beewax and light honey. This is a sipper, warming you from inside.
