Nice spread!
If the bochet is lacking and blending's your thing, have you considered blending it with a barleywine?
That's not a bad idea. I had thought to keep it purely a mead and maybe blend it with a sweet mead I have yet to make just to give it some body but honestly a nice big beer might be just the thing to give it some complexity. I think if I am to go down that route I might choose a nice big stout to blend it with because I think the roastiness might complement the chocolateyness of the bochet nicely.
Thank you! I like making mead because it is high enough ABV that I can just let it age and do other brews whilst I work out what to do with it!
