Ode to mead

[digdan]

The reason I will never give up mead :

The first tasting of a one year old mead.

Almost makes me cry.

Its like god is rubbing my belly.

Haiku?

Taste of year-old mead
God is rubbing my belly
Almost made me cry.

It's five-seven-five
If you want to write haikus.
Refridgerator.

We went to the Blind Tiger in NYC, and the non-beer drinking swmbo was looking for something to have. I noticed a dusty bottle of Redstone mead behind the cash register, and asked for a glass of the mead. After I was given an uncomprehending look I pointed to the blue bottle and got a wine glass pour.

Honestly the best mead, homemade or commerical, I've ever had. God only knows how long it had been sitting on that shelf, but it had to be several years old. Age does wonderful things to mead

Which Redstone variety was it?

 

[MikeRLynch]

Their traditional, not those 9% nectars, I'm not a fan of those.

Their holiday metheglin with vanilla and cinnamon is divine. I can't get enough of that stuff. Soooooo smooth.

Mead is pretty amazing stuff, probably my favorite alcohol containing beverage.
