296 mL can from the LCBO; dated Nov 2018 and served barely chilled.
Pours clear golden-amber, with half a finger of loose, bubbly white froth that disintegrates in its entirety within less than a minute. A sickly thin collar remains, but the surface is otherwise barren, which in my experience is pretty typical of these braggots - as is the honey-centric aroma. There's also a touch of red licorice candy and (very) mild booziness in there, but I'd be lying if I said I could discern much of anything else - though I will add that there's a nice floral hint, which aligns with their assertion that it's wildflower honey.
Not bad at all. The grainy, doughy pale barley malt sweetness does come through a bit better here, with the honey note merely permeating the flavour profile, rather than overshadowing anything specifically. Hints of grape and apricot come through towards the finish, as does a touch of floral hops, which fade into a mildly nectar-sweet aftertaste that shows no signs of its 7% abv. Medium-light in body, with low carbonation levels that weakly brush against the palate, resulting in a smooth texture. They've only been at it for a few years, and they're already better at making braggots than Trafalgar ever was.
Final Grade: 3.76, a B+. Mind Over Matter was one of the better braggots I've tried over the years - not that I've had a whole hell of a lot of them. Not particularly complex, but the sweetness is kept in check and overall it made for a pleasant quaff. I'd say the switch to these 'Cold Shot' cans was a smart idea - longtime Ontario BAs may remember when Trafalgar's (antecedent) line of meads came in corked bottles (and before that, ceramic ones), which was part of what made them so pricey. This can is cheaper (in 2019) than those ever were (in 2013), and besides, the conservative serving size is about right for something this sugary and strong, anyhow. I'll buy it again.
