Brad B is drinking a Pep Talk! by Second City Meadery
Tried this in the Second City taproom. Pretty good for a session mead, though it seems over-carbonated to me. The ginger is just right, and the peppercorns freshen up the citrus flavor, though I can't taste the passionfruit.

Brad B is drinking an Existence Is Decadent by Second City Meadery
Drank this in the Second City taproom. I'm not usually into over-the-top dessert meads, but in this case "decadent" doesn't mean that. It is instead sweet, complex, rich, and delicious without being overwhelming. The toasted coconut stars.
Brad B is drinking an Existence Is Nuts by Second City Meadery
Tried this in the Second City taproom. Amazing. The pecans are good but it's the walnuts that make this mead. The black currants set off both very nicely.
Brad B is drinking an Existence Is Coffee by Second City Meadery
Tried this in the Second City taproom. A perfect blend. The black currant and coffee flavors are deep, rich, and balanced. Goes down smooth.
Very good stout. The coffee is not equal to it.
