Big thanks to dak for sharing this and a gentleman’s nod to Meadme for . . . well, being awesome and being Meadme. Cheers Greg! The tall glass bottle pours with a deep purple body that has rosy red edges and leaves behind slightly staining swirls and decent legginess. The aroma offers up thick berry notes before it heads into some dark currant goodness and a dash of honey wax. The taste smoothly flows into rich dark currant juiciness, berry richness and then a bit of tannin like tartness. The tartness seems to try and break up the rich deep berry goodness but is unable to. This starts to pick up currant berry earthiness toward the finish but the tannic tartness snuffs it out. This was surprisingly different than the batches from the B. Necktar version.

Big thanks to dak for sharing this and a gentleman’s nod to MeadMe for . . . well, being awesome and being MeadMe. Cheers Greg! The tall thin glass bottle pours with a deep purple body that has red to rosy red hues and exhibits thick glass staining legginess. The aroma is thick and stiff with sugars and then big ’ole juicy berry goodness followed by thin berry skin like tartness near the end of the draw. The taste unleashes smooth rich juicy dark grape concentrate with a depth that runs deep underground. At the edges of the berry nectar goodness are thin berry skin like tart tannin notes that give this hints of balance amid the taste of rich sweetness. At times it feels nectar sweet and earthy fruit that has a plushness to it. Lovely.

Big thanks to Adam Jackson for this bottle share. Dark ruby color, that looks like a red wine color. Aroma is lots of fruit. Black cherry, raspberry, perhaps a blueberry with hints of currents.
Flavor is massively sweet with again, huge amounts of berry. No amount of alcohol even at this level of ABV, damn! The berry concoction of berries is crazy with a very light hint of honey in the finish. I know the price point is really high but after tasting this I understand why. Really crazy, smooth, yet sticky texture. Yeah, that doesn’t make sense. However this is really tasty and can’t imagine any other mead this flavorful.

Blood red, muted red and alcohol legs. Nose is chewy sweet cranberry sauce and raspberry jam. Up front, I get a lot of booze. Booze lasts a long time. Finish is lingering honey with jammy berries.
