375 mL bottle. 2011 bottle. Blood red. Stains the glass. Smells of currants. Really intense. There’s a sharp acidity too. Taste has a lot more of the honey. And cherry. Sweet cherry. Rich currants. Heavy and rich body. Outstanding in every way.

Bottle #43. Huge tip of the cap to Randall for sharing this bad boy. Literally looks like a snifter of blood. Honey aromas. Wow, so sweet with the most intense farmhouse berry and cherry highlights. Takes me back to my childhood when we would pick the blackberries off the bush. Loads of melon and honey notes. Soooo dangerous. Very good mouthfeel and body. Exceptional.

Part of an insane HoD vertical. Pours an inky purple red. Aroma and taste is wave after wave of exquisite dark fruit and honey. Medium-full mouthfeel. Unparalleled melomel.

Just a ton of currants and fruit. Really delicious stuff. Cheers, David!!

Bottle shared at Kickbacks during RBWG. Pours a clear ruby with no head. The aroma is currants, raspberry, grape. Thin mouthfeel, strong berry, currants, oak tannins, cherries, lingering tartness, simply amazing.

UPDATED: AUG 17, 2014 Thanks for sharing this treat Hamilton. 2011 vintage. Lots of berries and honey coming through. Sweet but not cloying. Slight vanilla and grapes. Just so incredibly smooth. Awesome, Awesome stuff if you are a mead fan. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Holy cow. This was everything people have said it is. Poured from bottle 31 of 140 of the 2011 vintage. Pours a dark ruby red. Smells of cherries, raspberries and other dried fruits. Taste is sweet as hell with just a slight bit of tartness from the fruit. What a perfect blend of flavors. Nice work Ken.

Bottle from Kyle, drank at Bunny's. Aroma and flavors of cherry, raspberry and current, in that order. There is a definite aspect of honey, but the berries take a front fucking seat. This one is amazing. Not too sweet and great mouthfeel, just thick enough not to be heavy. Excellent mead!

Bottle shared with Greg, huge thanks. Pours beautiful deep dark lilac with no head. Aroma is so intense cherries black currents sweet honey a bit vinous acudity. Flavor is fullbodied berry sweet sweet a bit acetone which pairs perfectly with the black currants. Fantastic drink.
