This chokeberry melomel pours a light golden color. The aroma is vinous and tart. The body is light and the flavor is tart and fruity kind of cherry raspberry mix. The honey provides a sweet cinnamon spiciness to the mix.. The finish is light with a bit of drying tannins. The chokeberries give it a wonderfully unique flavor and the light body is unlike all of the other Polish meads I have tried.

That sounds awfully yummy Matt!

I take it you are stocking more meads now? If so that is awesome! I've been planning on making a chokecherry mel for a while now (with Wayneb's help). When my employment situation settles down I'd love to try this one for either comparison or as a target.
 
wayneb;

Really ,because I did not get a musty or earthiness off of it. Acidic, yes, tannic yes, and of course honey sweet but no must. I poured a bottle last night at a meeting for the upcoming FredFest (local fundraiser held in honor for Fred Eckhart’s birthday). Among those attending was Alan Sprints (Hair of the Dog) and Ben Love (Hopworks Urban Brewery) both accomplished brewers and they loved it. If I were you I would give it another chance. Maybe there was a run that was not up to snuff or something.

Hmmm... well, I'm always willing to give a mead a second chance, on the advice of others. I've even had a bad bottle of Jadwiga -- all I can figure is that it must have been stored at 100F for a year or two before I got it -- it was over-oxidized, stale, and generally unappealing. If that had been my only exposure to Jadwiga, I'd probably have written it off as well.

So, another trip out to Boulder is in order. :cheers:
