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.

From 375 bottle. Appearance is a sort of a copper-rose color. The aroma is quite strong with some ginger and oak barrel. The flavor, like the aroma, is ginger, honey, and oak barrel. Somehow all these flavors come together quite nicely. The oak barrel provides a bit of bitterness to off-set the honey. The palate is full. Finishes long and sticky. Overall: decent mead. much enjoyed.

375 ml bottle. Clear yellow gold pour. Aroma is really quite beyond my ability to describe--it is unique and herbal. Never sensed anything quite like it before. The taste is also quite unusual, complex and herbal. Palate is full. Finishes long and sweet. Overall: I really don't know what the hell I just drank, but I liked it. Its really cool when you taste something that is nothing like anything tasted before--and its good. Bought an extra bottle for the cellar.
