I know that I am, I just have a hard time convincing myself that it's time to brew it again already. But it was such a winner last year, I can't help but want to give it another go 'round...Here's mine, let me know what you think or share your own....
It's based on an English Brown, and was my first all grain batch :rockin:

Brewer: Terapinchef
Asst Brewer: SWMBO
Style: Christmas/Winter Specialty Spice Beer
TYPE: All Grain
Taste: (45.0) This was a great brew. Mellowed out nicely, a long aging period is definately necessary. Good smooth flavor, clean spicy aftertaste.
