Chaucer's Mead is quite good...especially good when served ice cold from a pewter mug.

My one mead hangover I didn’t have the energy for that. I could barely muster up the concentration to beg for death.

I’m reminded of an old Norse legend. The Visigoths were minutes away from pillaging a village when somebody had an idea. The Visigoths were invited in to drink the village’s casks of Mead. They did. The next morning the villagers entered the Visigoth camp, yelling and banging on their shields, at which point, the Visigoths begged to be killed outright so as to be put out of their Mead hangover misery. They were easily dispatched and the village was saved.

This is the part where I say y'all should look up Sonoran Scotsmen Mead. It's smooth, pure, and yummy. I used it to cure the headache I was getting from Chaucer's Mead.
