HA!!
we cracked open a bottle of coffee mead that I made in April 2014 last night.
When I made it the recipe said it had to age for a long time.... they were right!
every 6 months or so we would try it and each time it was very harsh and "ashy". Finally at 6 years it is more mellow and actually drinkable. HWMBO says it tastes "expensive". it is a berautiful amber color.
at 6.5 or 7 years and I may have a REALLY interesting mead. My chocolate mead was the same way-- 4 years = very good, years 1-4 = OK but not great
How long does everyone else age their coffee meads? ever get a drinkable one?
