First time mead, sharing with my bro. Thanks to my co-worker for picking this up from the brewery. Pours an amber color with a thin bubbly off-white head. Aroma is caramel malts, aged wood, and some earthy peat. Taste is much like a barley wine with some peat and earthy characteristics. Quite enjoyable.

Oct 9, 2009 First time with a mead. Pours a clear, dark ruddish-brown. Aroma is somewhat like a barley wine but with some vinuous aspects. Taste is some caramel, wood flavors, light vinuous flavors. Pretty close to barley wine with more wine aspects. Pretty drinkable and enjoyable.

Jan 26, 2009 Updated: Mar 8, 2009I didn’t really get the honey aspect of this, but if someone had raved about this as a great dopplebock, I would agree with them. Pours a deep clear red-brown, with a little bit of sediment and an ongoing effervescence. A large, rocky tan head deposits ring after ring of lace. Aroma is decidedly vinous, with port-wine elements. Cider and caramel also present. Flavor is rich and malty, raisins dominate. Gets spicy and slightly fusel in the middle, but here that’s somehow not a flaw. Cloves, citrus zest detectable. Finishes somewhat dry. Medium bodied, very lively mouthfeel.

Aug 28, 2008 Bottle. Dark amber with a large off white head. Lots of lacing. Sweet aroma of carmalized barley and hops. Thick palate. Flavor is a nice sweet start with a malty middle and a bitter sweet finish. This is by far the best mead I’ve ever had.

Jul 10, 2007 The first beverage sampled at the RBSG ’07 Grand Tasting. From 12-oz bottle, pours a clear burnt amber colro beverage with no head or lacing. Aroma of dry wood, caramel malt and some dark cherries. Taste is light carbonated, dry with a slight sour aftertaste. Not much honey in flavor or scent.

Jun 28, 2007 RBSG 06. This was a mead I was looking forward too. Unfortunately it was bad. Dry and chalky. No honey or other sweetness at all. Orange color. it was still, like a mead should be.

Jun 28, 2007 Sampled at the RBSG 07 Grand Tasting. This is my first Brackett and I can’t say it’s my favorite mead style. Honey and malt in the aroma but and the malt flavor, while not overpowering, did seem to dominate the honey.
