Black-Briar Mead is the famous mead of the Black-Briar Meadery in Riften. Innkeepers across Skyrim sell it. It restores 20 points of Stamina, though Stamina then regenerates 40% slower for 30 seconds. The bottle weighs 0.2, lighter than most drinks.

Gameplay Tips

Pass a Speech check with Dirge in the Ragged Flagon to get a free bottle.

Notes

Ungrien at the meadery says Maven Black-Briar flavors the mead with a secret blend of spices and fresh honey from Goldenglow Estate.
