Pours dark browned red. Scent is full on chery, some very mild honey back. Hidden barrel. Taste is sharp, intense cherry, very bready yeastyness. Mushroomy, mild oak. Pretty unique and interesting.
Extra info provided by the meadmaker : This is actually a blend of a session mead, with a 'forgotten' cherry wine by Warpigs' 2nd previous brewer. It aged about 5 years, and was way over the top, but seemed to work in a blend. (providing the mushroomy, bready character I tasted, I assume). Unfortunately, due to the wine being limited in existence, so are the possibilities of making this mead.
