Spiced Doppelbock

[Nosybear]

Was at the Dry Dock Brewery's seventh anniversary yesterday when someone planted a very insidious bug in my brain: Spicing my doppelbock. Now I don't want to waste all five gallons of my rather good beer on this experiment but the idea will not leave me alone. I'm thinking my wife's Pfeffernuesse spices added to a gallon of beer while it goes through its last couple weeks of lagering:

1/2 Tsp Cinnamon
1/8 Tsp Cloves
1/8 Tsp Nutmeg
Dash of black pepper

Doing this as a spice tea. Thoughts?
I'll let you know how it comes out.

Sounds interesting .. Had to look up what a Pfeffernuesse is.

Will prime with molasses to see if I can get closer to the cookie flavor. The Doppel itself is nice, sweet, cookie-like with rich toffee flavor, almost ready. I'll be bottling around 1 Dec.
