Notes

This is a good winter beer IMO. Drink it in a 10 oz tulip glass. You can tweak the spices to your taste. Next time I may back off the nutmeg and up the Ginger. This ratio was from my wife's gingerbread recipe
Of course you could change up the yeast. As with most spiced ales it ages well. I brewed it last year to drink it the following year so bottle conditioning may be appropriate
(Edit) the above recipe was edited with regards to the spices the ginger is the same reduce everything else
