I Wanna Brag About This Rum Barrel Aged Braggot

Finally! After fantasizing about it for a long time, we succeeded. Gio from Galea Craft Beers and Gert from The Blacksmith's Meadery have joined forces to release not one, but two collabs. Of course, in both cases it’s a Braggot.

The base is a sweet traditional mead and a thick (sooo thick...) stout. Both are then put together in barrels. In this case a Jamaican Rum barrel. The result is a velvety braggot that places the roasted aspect of the dark malts, and the subtle sensation of the rum (vanilla, a little tropical fruit and some cinnamon) in nice counterpoint above the rich aromas of the sunflower honey that was used for the mead.
This rum barrel aged version took a gold medal at the Mead Madness Cup 2023. Show Less
