375 bottle. Purple pour with no head. The aroma is big and bold with blueberries and some honey. The taste is crazy good mixed berries. There seems to be a bit of woody tannins in there too. The palate is full and viscous. Finishes long and sticky sweet. Overall: Decent--I'd drink this every day if I could.

Bottle shared down SMOD Xmas Eve 2022. Can’t fully remember where from, although Brewdog Sheffield rings a bell. “The fruit isn’t sticky but it’s vibrant and mouthwatering. Unreal easy drinking. High quality bev”. There you go. Wish I’d kept it for me and the missus, mind.

187 ml bottle. Pours a dark purple color. The aroma is strong with dark cherries and blueberries. The taste is intense cherries in the forefront giving way to raspberries and blueberries. Some sweetness--but not cloying. The palate is full and coats the mouth well. Finishes long and dry with lingering berries and some tannins. Overall: Decent fer sure-would drink the every day if it was more readily available. Paired well with some Marieke gouda.

375 bottle. Pours a dark purple color. Aroma is strong with berries that I cant quite place. The taste matches the nose--vibrant mixed berries in the forefront with some tannin bitterness at the back end. The palate is full and sticky. Finishes long and glorious. Overall: Decent mead. Not my favorite from Schramm's, but still quite memorable.

375 ml bottle. Pours a murky orange/brown color. The aroma is quite strong with ginger and honey. The taste is ginger in the forefront with cranberry and honey following. The palate is full and sweet. Finishes long with lingering prickly ginger heat. Overall: Decent, but while I could ascertain that there was some fruit in this, I could not identify it as cranberry if not for the label.

Unexpected batch 3, just lovely, heavy cranberry juice, but almost no tartness in comparison, just a hint at the finish, perfect balance of honey and cranberry.

375mL bottle drunk 5/9/25.
Clear apple juice with a rich honey tint to it.
Earthy with interesting yeast character and rich but seemingly well-attenuated honey. Apple is very fruity, but not sweet or overpowering. Just some tartness on the finish; no alcohol.
Sweet, rich, juicy with a good mix of lightly peppery honey and fleshy apple. Sweetness up front dries out nicely on the finish with the mildly tart apple. Rich and comforting with a tasteful apple character that allows the mead to still retain its honey character front and center.
