I like to do brews with a lot going on. I haven't brewed this one yet. I am going to make a big, spicy Christmas Ale. I have thought about putting in a little spruce. I made a big black belgian IPA last year with about 30% of the grain being flaked wheat. It came out like motor oil, but tastes great! Looking for feedback, suggestions, or constructive critism on this idea. Going to brew this one and a Serebrianka IPA on Saturday.
