375ml bottle. Pours a very deep ruby red. Aroma is all the cherries, marzipan. Taste is incredibly rich cherry with a little tartness about them, honey, syrupy sweetness but not cloying, warming alcohol. Absolutely beautiful melomel.

Fairly thick, sweet, boozy, lots of NyQuill cherry, a bit tart, smooth. Not one of their best.

First Schramm's! Despite being from Wisconsin, I'm in Lithuania trying this. Not the whole bottle, sadly, just the last 50ml. Cherry galore. I get the hype.

Oak & cherry aroma. Slick on the tongue with an oily back. Cherries, oaky & more cherry tastes. It's just a cherry explosion in the mouth. Excellent!
