They're pretty good plain if you like musky and sour things. The few that dried on the bush taste like a better version of a raisin. I'm making a quart of mead with them, and another quart with elderflower. They'll be my first batches of mead, so I have no idea how they will turn out.

bro i love mead and both of these flavours are some of my favourites
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.
