I'm trying to replicate a beer I have absolutely fallen in love with while trying to change it up a little (New Holland Dragons Milk Reserve 2022 1). Essentially this beer was flooding with cinnamon, vanilla, bourbon, and spiciness. I feel like I already got the cinnamon part down and vanilla but I'm struggling to try to find an answer to the spicy part.
Essentially, I want to add some heat to the back of the beer, not anything that's going to break a sweat but just enough to be noticeable. Everything I've read is about encapsulating the pepper flavor and aroma, but personally, I only need the heat. That being said has anyone experimented with peppered stouts? Has anyone figured out how to get only the heat? I plan on tasting the beer while in secondary so as to not overshoot.
Here's my rough recipe if anyone is interested
