It is a honey wine. This is based on it's high alcohol content, similarity in complexity regarding it's need to be aged for a long time like wine, and it actuially resmebles wine in tast. Mead is also not typically carbonated whereas beer is and it tastes pretty lame if it is not.

mead is more like wine, it's not sparkling. It tastes sweet, because of honey, and a bit sour-ish, like wine (because it's made by the sugars in the honey that fermentate.)
The taste is something like a really really sweet wine, or maybe wine mixed with sweet apple juice, or something like that.
I notice a lot of your questions are about mead. I hope you are succesfull in your attempts of producing it at home. I wasn't, I ended up with vinegar, LOL!!
It would probably be beasier if you try to buy it in a shop, or if you can't do that, to order it from Europe. Germany, for example, has a huge selection. Scandinavian countries of course even more.

Mead is wine made from honey.
There is a winery around Seneca Lake in New York called Earle Estates Meadery. They specializa in combining fruit wine with mead, and many of them are excellent.

Mead is wine made from honey. It's like nasty honey or sickly-sweet wine. It's nothing like beer.

Neither. I think you will be grossed out by it. It is more like a liquified mincemeat.
