Anyone have any good suggestions for a winter/christmas extract recipe? Only 3 months till Christmas :)
 
Brewers best just released their Holiday Ale. I haven't tried it, but I bought one to make for Christmas. They also have a Milk Chocolate bock for Christmas that I'm looking for as soon as I can get it!

Northern Brewers sells a Brickwarmer Holiday Red and a Winter Warmer. They are both extract kits with a fairly short turn around time.
 
I brewed my holiday ale last weekend. Took the Flying Dog Imperial Porter recipe, changed it up a bit. Used trappist yeast, also added some All Spice, Amaretto and a cinnamon stick. Sitting at 11.8% after a week and smells awesome.
