What human ale I have had lacks much of a flavor beyond the cask it was fermented in, as far as i am concerned. Mead however is sweet and enjoyable to drink. Romulan ale is... subtle and strong. Perhaps because I am so unused to it.

Meta-distilled? It sounds... metalic and cold. Is that it's taste then too?
