Really sorry to hear. I sincerely hope you are doing well. Happy new year to you and our whole group!
Yours was the only one I didn't ship because my e-mail said december was blanked out, when do you want it there, I'll have it on that day
Checking out the Spiced Dunkel...I like the spice and malt blend...for some reason it keeps reminding me of gingerbread houses!

Also, Scruffy, I really enjoyed the Honey Ginger IPA.

Berry Lambicky Ale
This beer pours a deep opaque brown body with a thick deep beige head that turned rocky but lasted a good long time. The aroma of fresh raspberries came through even during the pour and did not disappoint. There was some nice malt support but it blended into the fruit. The taste was just as wonderful with the fresh raspberry flavor and some toasted malt support. The finish had a nice raspberry taste that lingered and just a touch of lactic tartness to really enhance the fruit flavor but not overpower it. The medium-light mouthfeel and gentle carbonation ended in a nice little prick in the crisp finish. This beer went down way to fast.

You're in for a treat. The fruitcake ale was awesome!
Also a tip: heal to the sky when you are drinking from a boot, otherwise you get a face full of beer at the end.

Spyder, what fruits did you end up using with the fruitcake old ale? I think I'm racking to secondary this weekend and am looking to see what you did and if you'd make any adjustments after tasting it.

THe only thing I would change would be to use a larger secondary since the fruit displaced so much area. Also I would make sure and use a container with a larger opening cause that fruit was a pain to get in and out.
KFH said:Yes, actually.
I apologize for the delay in getting my portion shipped out. I've been having some fairly major (and VERY uncomfortable) health issues lately, which is absolutely perfect timing with the holidays. I'm just about patched up now and I'll be getting my boxes mailed out within the next day or so.
