I've been drinking Chaucer's Exclusively, because it's the only one I can find. I've seen others on other peoples' shelves, yet failed to write their brands down.

What say you, the throng?

Jadwiga Miod Pitny. It's a sack mead, traditional style. Redstone makes good Melomel. I can't give examples of Methelgins, Braggots, or Cysers as I've never found any good commercial versions. Generally the best are home made.

What does mead taste like? Is it sweet? I've been wanting some since I was a kid because of robin hood. You can get it in Bunratty castle at the banquet (which is where I believe mead should be drunk) but I never could work up the stuff that is needed to go to an Irish tourist destination that has an audience, 90% of which is composed of american tourists.

No offense to americans but you make shitty tourists once you reach the of 56.

It can be sweet or it can be dry, depending on the ratio of honey to water in the must. Chaucers is a good example of a semi-sweet mead. It is widely available and I suggest that if you try it you skip the mulling. In flavor I would compare it to a white wine, only with more floral notes in aroma and flavor depending on the varietal of honey.
