Schramm’s Heritage Raspberry is a cousin to our standard Raspberry melomel, made exclusively with Heritage raspberries, the same variety used in Schramm’s The Heart of Darkness. Grown and loved by the Schramm family for generations, we were able to find a high-quality commercial source for these berries that took us back to picking them off the bushes in Grandpa Schramm’s backyard. We think this jammy, bright and extremely flavorful mead would make him proud.

from 375 ml bottle. Pours a dark purple color. The aroma is quite strong with raspberries and a bit of tannin acidity. The taste, like the aroma, has sweet raspberries in the forefront with some woody/viny/seedy complexity that give it nice tangy aspect to balance the sweetness. The palate is full and a bit oily. Finishes impossibly long and sweet with lingering berries. Overall: Decent stuff. I would drink this every day if I could afford to do that. Paired well with some Jarlsberg cheese.

Lazy Sunday THT. Batch 4. Dark purple. Massive sweet honey and raspberries. This is the porniest raspberry you can taste, apart from eating out with raspberries. IMHO. Makes me very honey. Bazinga!
