Bochet or burnt mead is a style of mead with a burnt or charred character, sometimes imparted by boiling and caramelizing the honey before adding any water to the must. It is generally brewed to sack strength. Bochet may also have been a synonym for "mead" at one point; it is unclear whether bochet in its "burnt" sense was intended as a drink or a purely medicinal concoction.
