    Sounds stellar to mne. The pepper will be nice on the tounge with the sweet honey and the ginger will be interesting.

    Mmmm....much better than the Joe's I did. Not much pepper or ginger made it through bit there's a spicy edge on the back end from the ginger that works nicely

    That sounds nice, I had a cinnamon mead last month that tasted like a mouthfull of burning powdered big red. Seriously, chalky and everything! Nice light spice is better for me.

    The ginger is really subtle in this and I'm surprised because I expected it to be pretty strong.
