Malm� April tasting - sweet with prominent black currant, honey sweet base, getting light bourbon impartation, smooth, light vanilla kissed warming black currant finish. Beautiful.

Pours dark, browned red. Scent is fleshy, full on intense. Cocoa. lovely. Taste is full, intense cocoa, fruity, decent acidity. Lovely ! I especially found the BA part to be a great enhancer of the mead, way more so than the 2018 version. Apparently, BBA is to be taken loosely, as these aren't freshly emptied bourbon barrels, but rather ex- warpigs barrels, previously containing bourbon. Whatever warpigs has done with it (I assume a very chocolaty Imperial Stout?) works so, so damn well with this mead, that it's way better than the 'false' description of BBA made me assume.
