An experiment with sweet and spicy, the Fat Friar added chili pepper to his mead and found the results to be extraordinary. This mead has a kick, but not too hot. The spice invigorates you and goes well with any dish that may be in need of a hint of spice. Chocolate goes well with this too. Some folks have turned this into a cocktail by adding pineapple juice and lime and it is called The Newcastle Stingah.

Bottle sample at the meadery - thanks very much to the hosts! Pours clear, pale yellow. Light to medium sweet, then the chili burn kicks in. There’s quite a bit of assertive heat, though thankfully it doesn’t get out of control. Medium bodied and somewhat soft. Hot and tingly on the finish with lots of pepper, dry spices. Lingering chili burn. The pepper burn is robust but I don’t think it goes over the top. But it definitely cleans you out. Not bad.

Bottle sample at the source. Clear golden color. Aroma of floral honey. Taste starts sweet but then is overtaken by heat.
