I make a braggot which is a ris aged in whiskey barrels and a orange blossom sack mead aged in rum barrels. I serve it uncarbonated or very lightly carbonated to keep the silkyness of the brew.
What are your thoughts?
Carbonation level is specific both to the beer itself as well as a person's tastes. I love my post-kegging fermenter samples, with only the carbonation accumulated during ferment. Granted, I've never chosen not to carbonate a keg...
People like fizzy ****.
For the life of me I'm not sure why.
For me RIS would be be best just slightly spritzy and mead still.
Could handle slightly sparkling mead and flat ris too.
Same for the braggot combo. I'll have a bottle of each please.
Got an email for bank transfer. Any way of making it via paypal now? (which was my preferred option - just never saw how to select after adding guest checkout details).
Delicious. Drinking it now. Quite sweet, dessert-ish, lovely honey notes, and character from the fortification. Finish is all oak, rum, whisky and milk chocolate.
Straight orange blossum mead is pretty tasty too (might become a regular order for me).
