Commercial Description:
Gold to amber color. Strong earthy honey aroma, medium sweetness, honey dominates over the malt character. Pours a nice head. This mead is made from Michigan Star Thistle honey. Braggot is made from 2/3 honey and 1/3 malt. It required 1 year of aging for this mead to reach maturity. This Braggot will handle age beautifully. We recommend you try a bottle today and an aged one in a few more years. This mead is carbonated naturally in the bottle, so there will be a yeast sediment int he bottom. Recommended serving temperature is 50 F. This example is one of just a few Braggots available in the world.

Bottle EBF 07. This was a pretty good Braggot overall, although I have only had a few of them. I think I liked the atlantic brewing braggot a bit better, although it may have more malt in it than this. The honey comes through and dominates over the malt, so it gives a lot of straight mead qualities. Wine-like, sweet honey, alcohol is apparent, lightly fruity. The use of malt, keeps it from getting too thin or boozy and gives more of an interesting flavor and mouthfeel. Pretty good overall.

bottom of a 750ml bottle. A very very dark hazy golden orange color. Nose is pure honey, some light yeast. Taste is very sweet, more honey here, some light citrus fruits.
