Dessert mead made with chestnut blossom honey, thyme blossom honey and black currants.

We've always been fascinated by the darkness and in mead making that means a preference both to darker honey varietals and dark, tart and tannic berries. You Want It Darker is the first in a series of mead where we aim to indulge in our fascination and explore the world of dark flavorful honey and intense berries even further. In this mead we have combined smooth, herbal and leathery thyme blossom honey and nutty, sweet and bitter chestnut blossom honey for our honey base and allowed these honeys to co-ferment with intensely rich and tart black currants resulting in a complex mead that will go great with your favorite music and/or poetry.
