Tap at Winter Affair 2026. Blackish red-brown body. Blackcurrant, sweet and sugary in the aroma, intensive. Blackcurrant over waxy and honey notes in the sweet taste, delivering a good sourish fruity counterpoint. Nice!

Tap at Zichovec Winter Affair 2026. Lots of blackcurrant, bit the honey is simplish, hard to detect even, currant too strong. GBNG.

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.

Pours dark, redbrown. Smell is full, intense honey, blackcurrent, barrel is hidden. Taste is full, mildly tart, sweet, cherry like almost. Fullbodied. lovely.
