Default All-Grain - Joie De Vivre (Fake Imperial Pumpkin) - GOLD medal in State Comp

Recipe Type: All Grain
Yeast: Scottish Ale (Wyeast Labs #1728)
Yeast Starter: 2000ml
Batch Size (Gallons): 6 gallons
Original Gravity: 1.090
Final Gravity: 1.029
IBU: 15
Boiling Time (Minutes): 90
Color: 16 SRM
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 21 days @ 65
Tasting Notes: Big beer. Bready character balances the spices and warming alcohol.

I made the following beer and was VERY happy with it. Chewy, malty, and spicy. I gave one to my BIL who was down for Christmas, and his first comment was "Pumkin Pie!". There is no pumpkin in it. The spices are very prominent. My plan is to make this again in the summer. I will cut the spices down 25%.
