Short beer review
Sobrehumano Palena Ole...I think that's the name? From Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales.
If you like funky, oaked, beer, this is for you. Great example of the style. But if you don't like sours, or funk, you should avoid this beer. I'd buy it again.

Short beer review
Juicy from Crooked Stave
Quite good. Juicy, but not the juciest. I'd buy it again.

Short beer review
Cocoa Cow from Sun River Brewing
Good. Not sweet, tastes like a bit of chocolate.

I love Mead, however it gets me drunk very, very quickly!

The stuff i'm currently drinking is Viking Bloods Mead from the Lancashire mead company, its very rich which makes it perfect for cold winter nights

Viking's Blood Mead - Lancashire Mead Company | Viking Mead

Made with Blossom honey and a selection of forest fruits gives Viking's Blood Mead a distinctive red colour. This Viking mead is deceptively strong !

I do have a drinking horn, but I only use that on special occasions

I wasn't a fan of it. Sweeut and didn't like the taste ymmv. Didn't get me drunk as I couldn't finish the bottle. They were selling 4 packs of it here.

I would try different types though.

It can be too sweet, but i would advise looking around as the quality varies a lot, and a lot of the more mas market brands tend to over sweeten. I'm guessing from the fact New Zealand makes some amazing honey, there must me some great Meads over there too
