Description

The Viking’s Blood Mead is a dark berry mead, consisting of a mix of blackberry, blueberry and blackcurrant concentrates that are added during the fermentation, making it an excellent melomel/fruit mead. With both the fruit and honey lending their sweet flavours, this mead goes well with cheeses and rich desserts, where it stands in well for a port. Lighter desserts like vanilla ice cream can help highlight subtler flavour notes from the fruit.

The meads from the Lancashire Mead Company are probably best described as classic meads, with sweet and straightforward flavour profiles. They also tend to have a slight winelike “funk” that no doubt stems from close proximity to more experimental wild fermentations. While usually not strongly aromatic, they sit very pleasantly on the tongue and have both a mellowness and depth that make them extremely moreish. As such they are best enjoyed alongside cheeses or desserts that can serve as a contrast or a compliment to the sweetness of the mead, while also helping to prevent an entire bottle from “accidentally” vanishing.
