Sometimes described as ‘The Heart of The Heart of Darkness,” The Statement Reserve is made exclusively from estate grown Schaarbeek cherries. Like The Heart of Darkness, production and availability of this melomel are extremely limited. It was conceived and crafted to be the purest embodiment of the Schaarbeek cherries and premium honey used in its creation. It is compelling enough to be served without accompaniment, but is without peer when served with Belgian chocolate or New York cheesecake.

2014 Vintage @ Willrunforbeer’s grand mead tasting. Have to thank umich03jm for trading this bottle to Brian. Dark ruby garnet color. Aroma is is blackberry, cherry and slight honey.

Cherry skins, cherry wine, lightly sour. The finish is sweet without being cloying. Nice fuller body. Nice lingering berries, dry finish.

This is a blood red, purplish color with really nice legs. Nose is actually really interesting. It smells almost too fresh, boozy, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. it’s actually a very herbal nose followed by the definitive cherry nose. The taste is quite excellent. Really nice almost no booze, great sweetness that matches well with the sour cherries certainly a top tier cherry used in this beer. The only flaw is that at the finish, I get a faint latex glove,plastic taste. I can only hope that fades with time. Super drinkable. this is not a mead, this is some next level jamba juice gone organic w/ god tears.

Poured from bottle thanks Willrunforbeer/umich03jm. Pours clear dark purple with a strong aroma of ripe berries. Taste is sweet cherry and honey with a smooth rich mouth feel. A wonderful mead.

Bottle [no 10 of 36] shared @ tasting. Very dark red to purple color, virtually no head. Smells like warm dark overripe cherries. Taste is dark overripe cherries, only slightly sweet, a bit hard to describe really. Dry finish, quite vinous. Rich flavors, still balanced. Pretty damn nice!

Bottle shared, big thanks to phillycraft. Pours dark purple with no real head. Aroma of strong dark cherry, hairspray, perfume, blackberries. Flavour is moderate sweet, the sweetness set back by dryness and the pure fruitiness. Full bodied with soft carbonation.
