Um dude, I hat to break it to you but there are numerous styles of mead.

Braggot
Description: The Braggot is quite an old drink, there is a mentioned in Chaucer, Canterbury Tales in the late 1300s, and there are earlier references dating even further back to the 12th century in Ireland. Braggot is simply made by blending spices and herbs with mead and beer, to produce a strong concoction with uncommon flavors. Many taverns would make this blend right at the bar though brewers would also blend them as well.
There should be a balance between the honey character and malt flavor with the hop bitterness not overpowering the sweetness yet should be noticeable. Todays Braggot may or may not be spiced.

Mead variants
Trójniak—a Polish mead, made using two units of water for each unit of honey Acerglyn: A mead made with honey and maple syrup. Balche: A native Mexican version of mead. Black mead: A name sometimes given to the blend of honey and black currants. Bochet: A mead where the honey is caramelized or burned separately before adding the water. Yields toffee, caramel, chocolate and toasted marshmallow flavors. Bochetomel A Bochet style mead that also contains fruit such as elderberries, black raspberries and blackberries. Braggot: Also called bracket or brackett. Originally brewed with honey and hops, later with honey and malt—with or without hops added. Welsh origin (bragawd). Capsicumel: A mead flavored with chile peppers, the peppers may be hot or mild. Chouchenn: A kind of mead made in Brittany. Cyser: A blend of honey and apple juice fermented together; see also cider. Czwórniak (TSG): A Polish mead, made using three units of water for each unit of honey. Dandaghare: A mead from Nepal, combines honey with Himalayan herbs and spices. It has been brewed since 1972 in the city of Pokhara. Dwójniak (TSG): A Polish mead, made using equal amounts of water and honey. Great mead: Any mead that is intended to be aged several years. The designation is meant to distinguish this type of mead from "short mead" (see below). Gverc or Medovina: Croatian mead prepared in Samobor and many other places. The word "gverc" or "gvirc' is from the German "Gewürze" and refers to various spices added to mead. Hydromel: Literally "water-honey" in Greek. It is also the French name for mead. (Compare with the Catalan hidromel, Galician aiguamel, Portuguese hidromel, Italian idromele and Spanish hidromiel and aguamiel). It is also used as a name for a light or low-alcohol mead. Medica: Slovenian, Croatian, variety of mead. Medovina: Czech, Croatian, Serbian, Montenegrin, Bulgarian, Bosnian and Slovak for mead. Commercially available in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and presumably other Central and Eastern-European countries. Medovukha: Eastern Slavic variant (honey-based fermented drink). Melomel: Melomel is made from honey and any fruit. Depending on the fruit base used, certain melomels may also be known by more specific names (see cyser, pyment, and morat for examples). Metheglin: Metheglin is traditional mead with herbs and/or spices added. Some of the most common metheglins are ginger, tea, orange peel, nutmeg, coriander, cinnamon, cloves or vanilla. Its name indicates that many metheglins were originally employed as folk medicines. The Welsh word for mead is medd, and the word "metheglin" derives from meddyglyn, a compound of meddyg, "healing" + llyn, "liquor". Midus: Lithuanian for mead, made of natural bee honey and berry juice. Infused with carnation blossoms, acorns, poplar buds, juniper berries and other herbs, it is often made as a mead distillate or mead nectar, some of the varieties having as much as 75% of alcohol. Morat: Morat blends honey and mulberries. Mulsum: Mulsum is not a true mead, but is unfermented honey blended with a high-alcohol wine. Myod: Traditional Russian mead, historically available in three major varieties: aged mead ("мёд ставленный"): a mixture of honey and water and/or berry juices, subject to a very slow (12–50 years) anaerobic fermentation in airtight vessels in a process similar to the traditional balsamic vinegar, creating a rich, complex and high-priced product. drinking mead ("мёд питный"): a kind of honey wine made from diluted honey by traditional fermentation. boiled mead ("мёд варёный"): a drink closer to beer, brewed from boiled wort of diluted honey and herbs, very similar to modern medovukha. Omphacomel: A medieval mead recipe that blends honey with verjuice; could therefore be considered a variety of pyment (q.v.). Oxymel: Another historical mead recipe, blending honey with wine vinegar. Pitarrilla: Mayan drink made from a fermented mixture of wild honey, balché-tree bark and fresh water. Pyment: Pyment blends honey and red or white grapes. Pyment made with white grape juice is sometimes called "white mead". Półtorak (TSG): A Polish great mead, made using two units of honey for each unit of water. Rhodomel: Rhodomel is made from honey, rose hips, rose petals or rose attar, and water. Sack mead: This refers to mead that is made with more honey than is typically used. The finished product contains a higher-than-average ethanol concentration (meads at or above 14% ABV are generally considered to be of sack strength) and often retains a high specific gravity and elevated levels of sweetness, although dry sack meads (which have no residual sweetness) can be produced. According to one theory, the name derives from the fortified dessert wine, sherry (which is sometimes sweetened after fermentation) that, in England, once bore the nickname "sack").[29] Another theory is that the term is a phonetic reduction of "sake" the name of a Japanese beverage that was introduced to the West by Spanish and Portuguese traders.[30] Short mead: Also called "quick mead". A type of mead recipe that is meant to age quickly, for immediate consumption. Because of the techniques used in its creation, short mead shares some qualities found in cider (or even light ale): primarily that it is effervescent, and often has a cidery taste.[citation needed] It can also be champagne-like. Show mead: A term which has come to mean "plain" mead: that which has honey and water as a base, with no fruits, spices or extra flavorings. Since honey alone often does not provide enough nourishment for the yeast to carry on its life cycle, a mead that is devoid of fruit, etc. will sometimes require a special yeast nutrient and other enzymes to produce an acceptable finished product. In most competitions, including all those that subscribe to the BJCP style guidelines, as well as the International Mead Fest, the term "traditional mead" refers to this variety (because mead is historically a variable product, these guidelines are a recent expedient, designed to provide a common language for competition judging; style guidelines per se do not apply to commercial or historical examples of this or any other type of mead). Sima: a quick-fermented low-alcoholic Finnish variety, seasoned with lemon and associated with the festival of vappu. Tej/Mes: Tej/Mes is an Ethiopian and Eritrean mead, fermented with wild yeasts and the addition of gesho. Recipes vary from family to family. Tella/Suwa: Tella is an Ethiopian and Eritrean style of beer; with the inclusion of honey some recipes are similar to braggot. Trójniak (TSG): A Polish mead, made using two units of water for each unit of honey. Viking blood: Mead made of honey and cherry juice. White mead: A mead that is colored white with herbs, fruit or, sometimes, egg whites. Mõdu: An Estonian traditional fermented drink with a taste of honey and an alcohol content of 4.0%

Ok, you can call anything what you want to call it, but beer is not beer without hops and mead is not mead with hops. Additives aside, the only real difference between beer and mead is hops. I didn't realize there was a contention here

Sorry but you are 100% wrong. I have provided sufficient evidence to support my claim.
By the way, how many batches of mead and/or beer have you brewed?

Notice that when it mentions hops being an additive, it says it has a "beer-like flavor"
Because hops = beer.
And as to the cinnamon analogy, I would agree with you if cinnamon was only used in one thing ever. Nobody uses hops for anything other than beer. Making it uniquely beer related.
I rest my case

So your saying that beer flavoring something makes not what it was any more, so beer battered wings aren't wings?

Same thing with flavored vodka, it is still vodka
It is pretty clear that you have never brewed anything in your life
And this is from the link YOU posted LMFAO

Mead (/ˈmiːd/; archaic and dialectal "medd"; from Old English "meodu"[1] German: Меt, Estonian: Mõdu,Polish: Miód pitny, Ukrainian: Мед, Russian: Мёд, Serbo-Croatian: Medovina/Медовина, Lithuanian: Midus, Persian: مِی mey), is an alcoholic beverage that is produced by fermenting a solution of honey and water.[2] It may also be produced by brewing a solution of water and honey with grain mash, which is strained before or after fermentation.[3] Depending on local traditions and specific recipes, it may be flavored with spices, fruit, or hops[

Well the off-gassing smells fucking awesome, but next time I will add just a little more hops and malt I think. It also has juniper berries in it
And I replaced some of the water with organic apple juice

Well the off-gassing smells fucking awesome, but next time I will add just a little more hops and malt I think. It also has juniper berries in it
And I replaced some of the water with organic apple juice
How much honey did you use?

I would have added more honey, but factored in the sweetness from the apple juice. And I boiled 75 raisins with the wort for a yeast nutrient

it's probably going to be a while, but i hope you report back on how it tastes. i've got all the supplies to make some mead, but im not sure what im using as nutrient. I might just use honey yeast and water. Donno yet

I would recommend the raisins if you want to keep it simple. It will still work with honey water and yeast, but if the yeast has a little nutrient it helps to get things started a little quicker. That way any foreign bacteria/mold that may have slipped in does not have a time to establish themselves before the environment becomes too toxic for them from the alcohol that the yeast is producing.
It is recommended to use about 25 raisins per gallon, but you could probably just eye it

Beer doesn't even have to have hops at all to be beer. The difference is the sugar source, with beer it's a malted grain and with mead it's honey. If it's got both malt and honey, you could probably name it based on which there was more of.

It has about 3x as much honey as it does malt

I just read something recently about the whole agave thing being good for you was just a marketing ploy and that is is super processed and worse for you than sugar . . .
I think I might try one with molasses

And actually I used caramel malt which does not provide any fermentable sugars, used for flaver/color
