Snowy Summit Winter Warmer

I really enjoyed brewing (and drinking!) the Pumpkin Chai Spice Ale, so I decided to invite in the winter holidays with a similar, albeit rather different tasting, brown ale. For this beer, I used the same base English brown ale recipe, but it uses no pumpkin or pumpkin spices. Instead, I added a dash of mulling spices to the end of the boil. The resulting beer is a wonderfully aromatic and rich winter warmer, boasting 7.6% alcohol by volume and a mellow 19 IBU's. Having this stuff on tap has been fantastic, and I would highly recommend giving it a try! When using cloves in beers, I'd recommend not going overboard; they can really overpower the taste of the beer.
