No doubt there's a lot of sugar in there!
Also I remember reading/hearing somewhere that you need to be careful with the type of honey you add. If it was harvested from mainly Eucalyptus sources then supposedly it will give the beer a cidery smell and taste, I guess a bit like what happens if you use sucrose rather than Dextrose etc. Best to use honey that comes from non-eucalypts, somebody told me that Pattersons Curse was one of the best flower sources :huh:
Another reason for the smell maybe the high alcohol content. What may be reminding you of wine is actually the aroma of the ethol alcohol etc.
What does it taste like?
