Bottle, huge thanks Vresk & Branko for sharing! Murky red wine to purple body, no head. Vinuous blackcurrant wine aroma, alcohol, low to no honey. Dryish even, though with enough sweetness, sourish berry, warming, bit uneventful but still tasty!

Black with a trace head. Tangy and very tart with strong currant and cherry notes. Very long finish. Full bodied. --- Beer merged from original tick of Imprecation on 12 Sep 2025 at 19:29 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 10 | Overall - 9

On tap at Pips Meadery, pours a deep dark mahogany, no head. Aroma is full of jammy currants, gentle tartness/acidkty, and a touch of cherries, all wrapped in beautiful nectary honey. Flavour is very rich, with tart, jammy currants, gentle cherries, and honey nectar all in wonderful balance. Exquisite complexity�the currants lend just enough acidity to cut the sweetness. Wonderful.

Heavy fat cherry character. Heavy acidic. Light honey presence. Very good but a hint too sour for me.
