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.

Sample at the Badge-Whore Bowl (OSU vs AL) tasting on 01/01/2015. This Mead pours a reddish-violet color with a minimal head and decent legs on the sides of the glass. Aroma of berries and honey. Full-bodied with flavors of tart blackberries and other dark fruits, with sweet honey in the background. The finish is fruity with a lingering blackberry aftertaste. Tasty Mead all around.

Willrunforbeer’s grand mead tasting. Deep purple color with a huge black berry juice, raspberry and mild honey.
The flavor is the same with the addition of some red wine hints. Tannic. Full body, dry texture. Sample this at a huge mead tasting and got to say it’s lower end of the Schramms for me personally.

Tasting at Matt’s
Measured Final Gravity: 1042
Dark blood color. Deep blackberry aroma; it has a mild acidity, and humid shrubs. Sweet, but with nice astringency and acidity, rich.
Not really a mead, but I like berry wines and this a very good one.

Reviewed from notes.
Thanks Theresa for the bottle.
This was poured into a wine glass.
The appearance was a bright red color with a slim white - ness of a cap of bubbly head. There wasn’t any lacing whatsoever.
The smell had a decent sweet to tart blackberry that lightens a nice plum - like aroma.
The taste was semi - sweet with a nice light balanced acceptable tartness to taste.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation came across fairly smooth and nice.
Overall, decent mead that does the job. Would I have it again? Maybe...As it’s just another mead to me.
