Light and sweet at first, with honey, rye, and caramel. It then develops into a rather spicy jalapeño finish that stings as it goes down. An interesting equilibrium. I didn't find it as captivating and distinct as the other two Boss Hogs I've sampled; it was a bit too fiery for my liking.
CCarmine Dewitt4.5
The nose is very sweet with hints of honey and vanilla. The palate echoes this, with additional suggestions of clove, cinnamon, and dark chocolate. A long finish.
PPayton Tavarez4.8
The nose wasn't particularly noteworthy, but the mead truly stands out on the palate. Abundant rich honey flavors with a raisin finish.
EErnesto Stout4.8
This is so enjoyable, the flavor is excellent! I found the XIII and IX to be good, but this one surpasses them in my opinion.
