My first mead (for real this time)

[seth8530]

Ok, I tasted the mead. The everclear did some interesting things to it.

1) The strawberry has came back into the scene.
2) It is still sweet but it does taste a lot more balanced.
3) It does have a little of a hot taste, but not really an unpleasant one. More of a strong warming.

At 23% ABV this one is def not to be taken lightly.

Ha ha! well done Seth.

Not taking it lightly ? Isn't that what is intended ? Just drink it and get hammered. After all, it's "only" 23%, which is about the sort of level of stuff like Apfel Korn etc..... ::

The term shitfaced come to mind...... I fermented a batch of Pineapple mead to 21% it ended a great party one night when I brought it out at midnight.

Hehe, indeed.. I will be honest, the only reason why I added so much everklear to it was to fix it being so so sweet. I think the fix turned out well considering the circumstances.

@ mike, Indeed, this thing could get you ship faced way faster than anything else. At this high of proof I will say it would defiantly "end" a party lol
