Hi all!

I recently brewed a high alcohol mead and it's about time to rerack for aging. I pulled some out to taste the profile and it's coming up quite bland. The flavor from the honey hasn't really come through like i thought it would and i want to age it over coffee to give it a little something extra but can't find any recommended ratios or tips for aging like that.

Thoughts?
 
I cant speak to aging over coffee. Please excuse the comment below if not wanted as I know this does not answer your question...

I would encourage you to allow some of the high ABV mead to age as-is for a number of months. My experience for high ABV mead > 14% is that it will mellow and the honey flavor profile(s) will develop over time. Give it 9 - 12 months or more. (If you can)
