Notes: Ever since I tried the biscuity holiday flavors of Southern Tier Pumking a couple months ago, I've been considering doing my own take on a holiday spiced ale. However, I wanted mine to be served closer to Christmas time. That's how I got the idea for this Gingerbread Porter. Finally, with the help of a few good friends we made this specialty holiday porter last night while eating home-made pizzas and listening to Irish drinking songs. All in all, a pretty decent Wednesday night.
Gingerbread Porter:
Mash temperature: .5 Gallons @ 158 Fahrenheit / 45 minutes (.5 lbs patent and .5 lbs crystal malt)

Add Ginger, Clove, and Cinnamon at flame out.
