Draft at the meadery. A dark purple plum coloured pour with a lasting loose plum head. Aroma is semi sweet, dark cherry, woody tannin, red wine, alcohol, booze, vanilla. Flavour is composed of medium sweet light tang, big jammy berry, blackberry, cherry, red currant sticky sweet, fruit culle, vanilla. Palate is medium sweet, light tannin, woody notes. Lovely.

Bottle sample at a Yana's tasting at Max's place. Dark purple, a bit of pink foam. Jammy berries and currants, honey, sweet and slightly sourish, rounded. Great.

Straight blueberry and black currant jam. Works incredibly well here. Normally blueberry ends up muted but here they do seem to be side by side, complementary acid and tartness.
