A Note on This Beer
Today’s brew comes from the #19 Rated Brewery in the World on Untappd!
Except, Garagiste isn’t really a brewery. It’s a meadery; one renowned for crafting top-notch, honey-drizzled beverages that burst with decadent dessert flavors.
Needless to say, today’s Mead isn’t just honey wine. It’s a Melomel — meaning it’s fruited — specifically with black currants. Technically, that makes this Melomel a “Black Mead.”
Garagiste crafted Water “Blue Label” with jammy black raspberries and juicy Wild Treasure blackberries –– a hybrid blackberry/marionberry bred in Oregon –– for bushels of lush bramble berry flavor.
Finally, they aged it in Slovakian Oak for a drier, tarter elixir with a luscious body like a full red wine.
The tangy black fruit makes for a rich, dark pour brimming with berry aromas. Each smooth sip swims in sweet-tart flavors complimented by tannic oak notes and an untraceable 11.9% ABV.
Delicious fresh or a gem for your cellar, if you snag a bottle today, you’ll be one of less than 120 people outside of Florida drinking such an opulent, jammy dessert!
