375ml bottle from the brewer way back when. Poured a mostly clear burgundy colour. The aroma is big red berry fruits, light alcohol. The flavour is strong sweet, with a smooth, big jammy, blackcurrant, herbal, woody, vinous warm alcohol palate. Full bodied with no carbonation. Aged for more than three years which has probably improved the flavour. Nicely balanced alcohol.

Pours a bright, dark, candy-lookin' red. Scent is intense, very honey forward. mild red fruits. Some alcohol, but not overly so. Taste is very full. Thick bodied, very honey forward, mild red berries. nice balance, all be it more to the honey than the adjunct side. Not overly convinced concidering it's price though. Alcohol is relatively hidden for its 16 abv.

First sampled from prerelease bottle during Wild Festival, then again during THT December 2019 in its final form. Early notes: Clear bright red with no head. Massive sweet raspberries, red currant, honey. Massive. Super sweet with nice tartness. Full body, soft and slick. Soft carbonation. Really nice. Added notes: In the final version I didn’t get that many raspberry frontal notes, which I actually loved. Still really nice crafted mead!
