Draft at Churchkey. Bright golden color, thin white head. Aroma of licorice and malt. Odd, acidic, metallic flavor. Would not order again.

Just added this one, and I'll be the first to rate it too.
Location: On tap at the Brass Rail, 6/1/10
Aroma: Nose is lots of belgian yeast, plus a good amount of honey, and some spice.
Appearance: The look is mostly clear golden color, small white head, light lace.
Flavor: Taste is surprisingly only mild-medium sweet, and mildly bitter too.
Palate: The palate is heavy on the carbonation, light-med bodied, and crisp.
Overall Impression: Not really a mead, its a braggot...but I got no clue where to stick that...Anyway, it is a very solid summer beer, and I learned something new: "People often brought ale and mead together in a popular drink called 'braggott'. Sometimes these braggotts were simply blends, but the best of them had the grain and honey extracts fermented together, bringing both sets of flavors into a unified whole."
So there is that..
