As far as taste goes, they were both astringent, but I thought the no heat mead was a little less so. Tune in next year for the blind tasting results. I know a year seems like a long time to wait, but <i>I've</i> been waiting for two years and still counting! Erroll Hello Will,

You didn't sneak a taste? I am very curious to know if there was a discernible difference in taste or aroma. The heat/no heat experiment you did is great! You didn’t sneak a taste?
