herveusWe went to War of the Wings. Business was, unfortunately but unsurprisingly, disappointing. Not disastrously so, but all the same.
On the other hand, I had the opportunity to taste a potent potable that was surprisingly nummy. It was, in effect, a fairly sweet dessert wine, best consumed in small sips. I don't know if there is a specific term along the lines of perry, sizer, cider, mead, etc. It was made from maple syrup.
All intimations I've gotten are that that is a path of great folly. That the fermentation process yields nastiness. That was decidedly not the case. The maple flavor was not in-your-face obvious; it seemed almost caramel. Knowing that it was maple, I could identify the note. It lingered. It really lingered. Loooong finish. But yum.
