MontiChristo • 07/30/2016 at 05:35am Vanilla aroma with a cinnamon after taste, slightly dry not not overly dry. Room Temp: Good Heated (91 F): Better Chilled: will have to see in tomorrow FG was 1.001 and ABV at 13.26% but couldn't taste the alcohol Would like a bit of an oak flavor so next time I will reduce 1 vanilla bean and add double the oak cubed and maybe age longed. All in all, pretty good mead!!!
