bragget
- 1A drink made from ale fermented with honey and flavored with spices.

Note
A Welsh drink by name and by root: Middle English bragot came from Middle Welsh bragawt, built on brag, "malt", which is why it also went by Welsh ale. Ben Jonson still has drinkers "charg'd in bragget stale" in 1621, but the word is now obsolete, met mainly in older writing. It is a mass noun, so you speak of a cask of bragget, not a bragget.
