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.

Poured a dark black-plum color with no head and no lacing. The aroma was blackberry wine with a light tannin note. The flavor was sweet and tart blackberries and raspberries. Long finish. Full bodied.

Jesus Christ this latest batch is good! Feels sweeter & less tannic with very pronounced honey without losing any of the fruity jam.

At Hopishop 2017. Aroma of syrupy sugar and dark berries. Taste has sweet syrup, dark berries, plum, some tart and a cloying sweet mouthfeel. Not bad at all.
