Hey Guys!
I few years back (on my honeymoon actually) I went on a cruise and one of the stops was in Tallin, Estonia. In a restaurant there, I ask for a beer and the waiter tells me that they only have three beers: cinnamon, honey and herbs; all of the beers were brewed in the restaurant.
I decided to try one of each, the honey and herbs were OK but the cinnamon was delicious! I'm thinking that it was an ale because at that time I only drank BMC style beers and this definately tasted diferent, the color was light amber (maybe similar to Sam Adams Boston Lager). The cinnamon flavor wasn't overpowering but it was there!
I'm fairly new to homebrewing and since I began in the hobby i knew that at some point I had to brew a beer similar to the cinnamon ale I had on that trip. I still don't have the experience necesary to come up with a receipe and that's why I come to you for help (but i'll try anyway....how about an englisg pale ale with cinnamon sticks added to the boil with 10 min left?)!
Thanks in advance for your help!
