I've had mead twice. The first time was a very sour blueberry mead that tasted like over-fermented kombucha. The second was a black cherry mead with whisky barrel chunks thrown in and I think some vanilla. It was literally the best alcoholic drink I have ever had. Hands down. Bar none. The absolute best thing I ever drank.

The raw black currant mead tastes like really good cranberry sauce.
