375 ml bottle. Bottle numbered 65/189. Dark purple pour. Aroma of mixed dark fruits--cherries, plums, blackberries. The taste is dominated by tart cherries, just that, big bold tart cherries. The palate is full and coats the mouth well. Finishes long and magnificent with lingering tart cherries and some sweet honey. Overall: Top shelf stuff. paired well with some Ghiradelli intense dark chocolates.

375 ml bottle. pours sort of brownish-purple color. The aroma is strong with berries and something citrusy I cant quite identify. The the taste is quite tart with berries, citrus fruits and honey. The palate is full (as always) and coats the mouth well. Finishes long with lingering tart acidity, and a bit of sticky honey. Overall: impressive. never eaten a gooseberry before. I have no idea what a gooseberry is supposed to taste like, but if this is a good representation--then I'm a fan. This is by far the most tart mead I've tried, something I really appreciate.

375ml bottle. Pours a bronze-gold color. Aroma is mild with honey and, nutmeg and faint bourbon barrel. The taste is very similar to the aroma. The nutmeg creates a slight numbing sensation on the lips and palate. There is a bit of oak barrel in the taste. But, its the honey that dominates. The mouthfeel is full and viscous. Finishes long and sticky sweet--almost cloying. Overall: Just Lovely

Bottle 187ml, Batch 1. Pours a deep dark purple color. The aroma was mild and understated with berries and honey and that gave little warning to the intense flavors that would follow. The taste featured robust berries, a bit of pomegranate, and some tannins. The acidity was quite high giving this a very tart explosion on the palate. Honey sweetness was well offset by the tartness. The palate was full and coated the mouth well. Finished long and glorious with lingering tart berries. Overall: A masterpiece. Paired well with an estate gouda.
