In Neil Gaiman's Sandman the title character attempts to order dark mead, but it is out of fashion and the barkeep has no idea what he's talking about. I was thinking about trying to create something with a satisfactory color. I'm thinking of having a base of 12 pounds wildflower honey (other than buckwheat that's all that's available around here) and 1-2 pounds buckwheat. Then I'll add two pounds of honey caramalized on the stove in an attempt to darken it up a bit. Thoughts? All carboys full so it'll be awhile until I get around to this, but I like to plan ahead. I want to do this without adding non-honey ingredients like dark malts or berries.
