Every year my mom makes the same cider. It is apple cider cooked on a stove with an orange stuffed with cloves and a cinnamon stick thrown in the pot.
What I'd like to do it get that flavor by boiling a gallon and a half of cider down to about a gallon with all that stuff in there (basically making the cider) and then add it to a beer.
I was considering a scottish ale or a wee heavy. Something that will run about 8-9% and still let the flavors shine through.
Would this be an appropriate style? Would I be better offf doing a belgian strong in this manner?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
