375 bottle. Pours a deep purple color. Aroma of elderberries and honey. The taste is much the same as the nose--lots of berries and honey. Very Jammy. There is a bit of tartness that nicely off-sets the honey sweetness. The palate is full and viscous. Finishes long with lingering honey. Overall: Good stuff.

6 3 6 3 12Bottle shared at Sunday Brunch Bee Boost. Very dark purple near black with no head. Aroma of vinegar, vinous notes and big floral honey. Flavour is heavy sweet. Full bodied with soft carbonation. I understand this one was recalled by Schramm’s so it probably not fair to rate this. Schramm’s are usually good at worst and this is not up to their normal quality.

Heavy elderberry & honey nose. Leather, moist wood & yellow flowers. Sweet, sour & fruity taste. Viscous tart mouthfeel. Delicious!
