375ml bottle. Pours a lovely reddish purple color. The aroma is somewhat mild with black currants and honey. The taste is a big blast of black currants and honey. There is a slight tartness and some tannin astringency. Palate is full as you'd expect. Finished medium and semi sweet with lingering berry tartness. Overall: Outstanding stuff. Paired well with some estate gouda.

200ml bottle. Pours a sorta pinkish-brown color. The aroma is mild with berries, wood and some dust. The flavor is a big blast of berries (gooseberries I presume). There is a strong tartness to this that fills the mouth. The palate is full and viscous. Finishes long and glorious. Overall: Just fantastic, words fail me. Paired well with an estate gouda.

375ml bottle. Pours a deep dark purple color. The aroma is strong with black currants and fresh cut woodsy oak. The taste, as in the nose, the first thing you notice is the taste of new oak. This is followed by sensations of black currant and honey. Acidity is somewhat high making this a masterpiece of sweet and sour. The finish is long and magnificent. Overall: Top shelf creation. The prominence of the new oak barrel in both the aroma and taste is a rather new twist on the venerable fruit mead. Paired well with some Lancashire fluffy monster cheese.

375 ml bottle. Pours a deep dark purple color. The aroma is quite strong with mixed berries. The taste also features mixed Berries rather prominently (loganberries and tayberries I guess--I'm not very familiar with either of them). The taste is rather tart at the onset but that gives way to a honey sweetness. The palate is full as always. Finishes incredibly long and sticky with blackberries lingering. Overall: Awesome mead. paired well with some Lancashire cheese

375ml bottle. Batch 1. Pours a deep dark purple color. The aroma is strong with mixed berries. The taste is a big blast of tart berries, something of a mix of blackberries and blueberries. There some woody tannins in there too. The taste is quite tart with only a trace of sweetness. The palate is full and coats the mouth well. Finishes incredibly long and complex with different taste sensations arising long after the glass is done. Overall: Just fantastic.
