Sooooooo
I have never brewed a Mead before, and after some reading it started to intrigue me. So before I purchase ingredients to brew a Mead I decided to head over to my LHBS and picked up a Chaucer's Mead (Only one they carried). This Mead came with spices to warm your mead up with, I found it even more intriguing. So tonight I did so..... and HOLY S&*$ IT WAS AWFUL!
First the spices almost took my breath away they were so strong, then the Mead was sooo sweet I almost got gut rot. it was 2 extremes that didn't please my pallet AT ALL!
I'm very upset, because I wanted to like Mead's sooooo bad. Even though I don't enjoy wine, I thought different about Mead.
So my question is.... Was this a bad first impression?
Is a Chaucer's Mead a Sweet Mead?
How will a Dry Mead taste?
How will a Sparkling Mead taste?
