Bottle probably via the short lived online shop. Now way out date, although itโs been in the fridge since purchase. Clear deep purple red. No head. Nose has some oxidation as you might expect but on top thereโs a load of sweet dessert cherry. Almond extract. Bit of vanilla. Very trifle-esque. Taste is sweet and nothing else. Slick and warming but very easy drinking. Sweet finish. Tooth rot. Good though.

Bottle, shared at Brewdog Manchester. Pours dark berry red to purple, no head. Huge almondy marzipan cherry pit aroma, also honey, light cinnamon. Taste: heavy sweet, more marzipan, sour cherry, honey. Thin to medium body with no carbonation. Big flavours.

Bottle thanks to Stuu666. Appearance - red wine like really. Nose - honey, almond, cherry stone and black cherry. Taste - luscious black cherry and almond. Honey underlay. Palate - sweet and rich. Not sure how the body compares to other mead. Overall - lovely.
