Notes

This beer is a hearty winter spiced beer inspired by Harpoon's Winter Warmer. The malty character is balanced by gentle European hops and baking spices (cinnamon, allspice & nutmeg) bring holiday flavors and aromas to the table.

Adjusted spice levels in recipe on 5/1/19 as per tasting notes from 2018 brew.
