- Tasting Notes
- Big beer. Bready character balances the spices and warming alcohol.
I made the following beer and was VERY happy with it. Chewy, malty, and spicy. I gave one to my BIL who was down for Christmas, and his first comment was "Pumkin Pie!". There is no pumpkin in it. The spices are very prominent. My plan is to make this again in the summer. I will cut the spices down 25%.

[edit] I made a second batch of this and realized that the spice measurements should have been teaspoons, not ounces. I had recorded ounces in my written recipe, but that just CAN'T be correct... so I'm assuming I made an error, and I'm changing everything to teaspoons. I've edited the recipe above to reflect this. Sorry everyone.
