I made a batch of this last year. It turned out pretty good. It tastes a bit like ginger bread. Good for beer drinkers and non beer drinkers alike. Also good for dipping Christmas cookies. I added nutmeg to mine to give it an extra kick. This is also the beer that I brought up to the McCloud.

Since 1994, we have produced a spiced Holiday Ale every year for the Fall and Winter Holiday seasons. The current kit is based on a formulation we first perfected in 1999, and by popular demand, we have settled on this formulation ever since. A spiced honey brown ale, our Holiday Ale is spiced with orange peel, allspice and other spices. The spices balance the sweetness of the honey, and the resulting brown ale has a rich honey malt character and delicate bitterness.
Alcohol: 4.5%, IBU?s 34 Includes 9 lbs. of our blended malt extract and honey, mixed spices, flavoring hops, 125 ml of liquid ale yeast, and corn sugar for carbonation. Makes 5 gallons with a starting gravity of at least 1.052. Ease of Brewing: Beginner
