How funny never thought of it like that but that is how mine tastes. Good luck with yours.

Thanks. Not sure if you saw one of my earlier posts, but I did actually ferment with 3787 Trappist High Gravity. It's definitely a lot stronger in flavours than a BDSA; the outdoor fermentation conditions gave it some strong fruit and spice, and the fact I used Australian (eucalyptus) honey will give it another strong counterpoint to the fruit, spice, floral and caramel. Can't wait.

I've read this article before but just now I thought of the possibilities it holds for cooking the honey for bochet making:

My brewing buddy has been begging me to make an open flame beer or something else. I'm thinking camp fire in the back yard, a whole bunch of cheap honey and a dutch oven will make for an interesting bochet like the dude in the youtube video.

This sounds interesting. I'm going to try this as soon as possible.
