Gosh, I saw this recipe by English privateer alchemist who also came up with modern bottle shape and some advances stellar navigation techniques while trying to alchemically resurrect his late wife.
Was it good? Should I try it too? And one thing that wasnt mentioned - should the meat be thawed and cooked first?
It is surprisingly decent, and you can control quite a lot of the taste by using a good amount of a sherry you like.
should the meat be thawed and cooked first?
You'll get the best taste (and quality) by cooking the meat as a whole without any additional broth (mine was cooked with some cabbage, so much of the fat was just dripping into that day's dinner), then skinning it (you won't want more fat than absolutely necessary in your beer).

FAQ:
Why? I wanted to try a Cock ale and nobody made one for me.
How does it taste? Chicken, plums and cloves.
Are you insane? Yep.

Also, no, you should probably not try to alchemically resurrect his late wife.

aww but I'd totally do that if I had enough resources. And the guy himself too, he must've been quite fun person.

You make it sound like taboo was anything bad!

yeah, I once made mead with pine nuts that yielded all the fat in the world. Not a memory to enjoy. Things we do for science...

Ok your recipe in wiki is quite clear on the last question. But was it good?

It was created by Brits, whose reputation for fine cuisine is top notch.
