This is my take on the Cold Mountain Winter Ale from Highland Brewing Co. in Asheville, NC. I converted this from an extract recipe I got at a HBS in Asheville a while back. Very simple grain bill, easy on the hops, not too much spice and an ABV of around 5%. When I brewed the extract version, the guy at HBS said Highland's recipe varied per year and at the time recommended I try using almond extract vs. hazelnut. It turned out great but now I'm curious of how the hazelnut will turn out. I just brewed this up last night so I will provide updates as I go. Any critiques or recommendations are encouraged. Enjoy! :rockin:
