Thanks Virby44 for the bottle! Taster showing a black center and blueberry rims.

The nose shows intense notes of roasted cashews with a background of ripe juicy blackberries and marshmallows.

The palate is full bodied, thick and slick. Intensely and juicy blueberry forward with light cashews in the background. More blueberries that seems to go on forever.

Bottle shared by Angst. Thanks buddy! Pours deep dark red, still. Aroma has an insane amount of blueberry, cashews, caramel-like honey notes. Taste is out of this world crazy good too. Insanely concentrated blueberries, sweet jammy, light acidity, cashews, sweet honey backbone. Can't see how this could be any better. Just wow. Another straight 5 added to the mead list, hah.

Bottle, many thanks _angst_! Dark purple color with no head. Aroma is intense berries, cashew nuts ok. Taste is super smooth, though extremely intense, all the flavours there, but very, very sweet. I am amazed at how well they manage to somehow not become cloying, although there's almost no acidity to balance the sweetness out. Velvety mouthfeel, flat. Almost overdone, but it still works.

Bottle courtesy of Linus. Viscous deep purple pour. Very rich sweet berry, chocolate and nut butter nose. Insanely rich taste where cashew nuts come forward with the berries. On the sweet side but there is a suiting balancing tartness. Floral honey is there and leaves a mark but also leaves room for berries & nuts. Definitely on my radar from now on. Hand bottled with care and consumed at once. No signs of spoilage. Thanks for sharing Linus!
