Based off Coopers Best Extra Stout. I put it on nitrogen and it's like drinking a gingerbread dessert. It's awesome around the holidays. I've got a pic and video below.

Add the spices during of the boil. You can subdue the spice flavor/aroma by shortening the boil time. Watch the anise flavor, if you aren't fond of licorice you can skip it.

If you want more spice aroma, add the same spices to the secondary for one week instead of boiling.
