Yep, I know the situation. I've been meaning to get my lager freezer off my back deck and into the garage. It's a must do before the weekend for me. Thanks!

Gravity is down to 1.012 already! Temps have been around 73 degrees, and the starter was nice and healthy, so the fermentation really took off. The flavor is quite nice - there is a pronounced roasted flavor from the chocolate malt and black patent, but the remaining honey flavor balances it alright. I expect the flavor to mellow with age, but I might use a bit less black patent next time.

with the spices and increased fermentables, I bet you could make a great Christmas ale.

I hadn't thought of this as a holiday brew, but I think you're right! I'd probably add some spruce tips (or extract) as well for that. Thanks for the idea!
