fall beers

[PicklesTheDrummer]

What are some good ales for the fall season?
also, what would be a good beer to give away as christmas gifts with higher gravity?

I am partial to English styles in the fall. I am ordering ESB and porter this week. Pumpkin is in the fermentor right now. Spiced and Old Ale are great for the holidays. Fresh grated orange peel added to a spiced ale is terrific, along with 1/2 teaspoon of each powdered ginger, cinnamon, all spice. 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg &
tablespoon of vanilla extract.

Would you mind sharing your recipe? Extract if possible! This sounds tasty.

Colonel That sounds very interesting. Please keep us posted on the out come.

I have my RIS bottle conditioning, Northern English Brown Ale in kegs (really tasty), aging Scottish Ale right now!

Dunkelweizen has become a favorite in the fall time for me.

Just tapped a dry stout and brewed a smoked porter (for winter).
