The only time I made a version of this beer, (not this version) I added the spices with 5 minutes left in the boil. That is, 2.5 TSP of fresh ground ginger, 1.5 TSP of ground cinnamon, and about 20 oz of Orange blossom honey.
I have never had the Christmas Ale so I am not sure. I had the Dortmunder last summer in the bottle and it was OK, not great. I had it on tap and it was good.
Thanks for the hard work. I am going to try this out soon. I am originally from Ohio and all my buddies rave about this beer but I can not get it where I live. This looks like a winner.

Just stumbled across this after looks like 11 months. My objective opinion?
I do dig the video, good footage of the band playing and playing around off stage.
I dig the lyrics kinda catchy I was singing along in my head by the end of the song.
The musicianship is good, you guys are...
