This earthy, brightly acidic mead balances the lingering tartness of whole blackberries and carefully selected honey. Intensely fruity with balanced acidity, a complex flavor profile and an earthy aroma, this mead is reminiscent of picking fruit on a mid-summer day. A strong option for the cellar, blackberry will continue to mature and develop in the bottle for years. Blackberry pairs well with creamy cheeses, duck, and veal.

Bottle shared at Linh’s birthday. Dark red with some bubbles. Massive sweet honey, big sweet honey boosted blackberries, black currant, juniper berries. Dense berry sweetness, tart at the edges. Some dry and wry berry skins. Over medium body and low on carbonation. Good stuff. --- Beer merged from original tick of Blackberry on 08 Jul 2019 at 10:58 - Score: 8

Bottle shared, thanks to sjogro. Clear deep deep red. Lots of flowery honey, soft sweet berries, blackberries, blueberries, light alcohol, a bit earthy, dried flowers. Quite sweet, light tart. Full bodied, no carbonation. Great.

Taster. Pours darkest ruby. Aroma is blackberry and honey indeed, floral, could also strawberry. Body is heavy and full, quite sweet but balanced by a nice acidity. Palate is sweet, tannins and berries. Burns a little, though. Still greatly balanced, not superfluous sugar. Good!

Sampled from bottle shared by SinH4 @ hotelroom tasting after Borefts 2018 Day 1. Thanks! Thick syrupy looking super dark red color, virtually no head. Aroma is intens but flavor is even more insane. Blackberry, sweet trip red / black fruit notes but also a light chili note somehow? Odd.
