I have a tasty chocolate raspberry stout and a beautiful spiced Christmas ale in the closet just waiting for December!!
I never would have thought to put cinnamon in an IPA. Have you tasted any of it yet? Cuz I'm having a hard time picturing what it would taste like since cinnamon and hops are fairly forward flavors.

OK I gotta ask.. what is RIS and ESB?
Thats awesome!! but how do you let it age for a few years? I brewed a barleywine about 1 1/2 years ago and it was spoiled after a year. It was great for 6 months, then i let it sit for 6 more and it was foul, stinky and plain nasty...

I'm thinking of brewing a giant RIS on 12-21-12 and calling it something "Apocalyptic" themed, though. Might bang out a quick spiced porter for the holidays if I can get off my ass.
Not the biggest fan of "holiday beer" but I did add some cinnamon to my last IPA I brewed Monday
