Damn nice! Juicy/light tart cherry; med honey sweetness. Lemon/pear/pineapple/orange/floral/vanilla/light earthy spice. Great balance. --- Beer merged from original tick of Oliver Black Cherry Honey Wine on 20 Feb 2016 at 17:42 - Score: 8. Original review text:

bottle - Pours clear light gold and has a big cherry aroma with some honey in the background. The flavor is a very sweet marriage of black cherries and honey that definitely tends more toward the fruit. Like the other Oliver fruit honey wines, it would be nice if they would tone down the syrupy sweetness a bit. The finish is fruity and sweet too. Not bad.

Black cherry nose. Clear magenta, still. Black cherry flavor, medium body. Delicious, but simple and is more sweet wine-like than mead-like
