Leftovers from 0.1L (thx, Renny!) @ SF shared with almost full gang (missing two biggest guys only).
Aroma: a lot of honey, dark cherries, sweet, bold.
Taste: along the same lines, intense, a bit astringent. Lots of cherries at the end.
Overall: nice one.

Dark purple. The aroma is a bit medicinal, it's got a nice berry character, with some richer honey overtones, lightly floral. Yeah, that's really nice.

Poured from 100mL bottle (pkg 29.01.2025). Mahogany auburn with no head. Very nice dark cherry, slightly tannic, nice honey underlay. Solid.

0.1L bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany. Nose has a sort of red wine tannic character, even though I know this is cherries – so I guess deep dark cherry skins, fermented out honey, and some honey nectar. Flavour is more like a medium-dry fruit wine, with lots of deep dark cherry skins, some vinous notes, fermented out honey, and alcohol. Really nicely constructed; the fruit adds a wonderful complexity. The sweetness is quite low for a mead, but I think that works. Finishes more tannic than anything. Excellent.

100mL bottle from Medovinarna. Pours deep mahagony. Grainy honey and sweet dark cherries on the nose, some cinnamon. Flavour has a deep dark cherry character, honey sweetness, tart tannins, boozy; quite dry on the finish. This is very nice.
