Taking my mead tasting exam in a few months...add the endorsement.

I like being Certified. It's like "ok you passed the test" but also "no we don't need you to do any extra ****" while judging. Perfect to me

Congrats Paps!

Congrats, Pappers! I'm taking my tasting exam this weekend.

So I think the exam went well. Unfortunately, I don't expect to get the results for several months. I even picked up an off-flavour the proctors missed (skunking). But I screwed up the Belgian Trippel evaluation (I was expecting it to be more like a Belgian Dark Strong).

As long as you described what you were perceiving, you'll be fine. The comparisions to the style and the points are only a small part of the exam's score.

For the skunked beer, did the exam administrator tell you that s/he had skunked the beer? The administrator for my tasting exam did that - he bought Pilsner Urquel in green bottles and left them out in the sun

Yes, afterwards (obviously). During the exam, of course, literally all we were told was, "Here's your glass of beer, judge this as a Belgian Trippel." No indication of whether it was a commercial example, homebrew, potential flaws, anything.

The skunked beer, it turned out, was some of his homebrew that he had bottled from his kegerator into a 1/2 gallon jug and exposed to sunlight. I even actually picked up some oxidation (likely from unintentional aeration while filling the jug from his tap), so maybe I'll get a bonus point for that.
