The history of Braggot dates back centuries in northern Europe. Braggots are meads made with malted barley in addition to the honey. Our Braggot won a Bronze medal at the 2012 Great American Beer Festival. Brewed with wildflower honey and rich, dark specialty malts, the final product is akin to a Scottish Ale, with an added earthy depth and sweetness. Vinous notes combine with earthy flavors and a touch of toffee and biscuit character with just a hint of alcohol warmth. This is a complex sipper sure to warm even the coldest nights.

Matt (thedm) provided this beverage to start another Fort Wayne tasting. Poured a cloudy peach color with plenty of "floaties" and a thin off-white head that left nice lacing. Yeasty, earthy aroma with some sweet honey and fruit notes. The flavor was surprisingly beer-like, very sweet but earthy and strongly bready/yeasty. Actually reminiscent of a golden Belgian ale. Candylike. The ethanol showed up in the aftertaste but was subdued (I can’t believe this is 13% ABV!). This was paired with Apis Jadwiga Mead, and these two meads represent the diversity within the style.
