I am currently drinking my first (and maybe last?) braggot. The idea of a beer/honeywine hybrid really appealed to me at the time of creation but I am really not a fan so far. Granted it is only 6 months old and I know that is young but the general idea of the taste is there I would imagine. I would really rather have a pure mead or a beer. This braggot is kind of like a super sweet liquor. It reminds me of rich alcoholic iced tea like a long island.
What are your thoughts on the style? Do you think I maybe just missed brewing it correctly by a long shot?
I did 10#s honey, 3.3#s dark malt, and some green tea with EC1118. Its not bad or infected or anything and the abv is quite nice but the taste is just "meh" for me. Its not bad but its not great. Maybe it is just because I don't like really sweet drinks...
