What's your favorite recipe to sip on during these long, cold winter months? Porters, stouts, IPAs?
I am a hophead, but I usually shy away from hoppy beers in the winter- they never seem as good because it's harder to find fresh hops. To me, it's the same reason you don't eat strawberries in the winter. You can still get them, but they aren't as fresh as they are in the summer.

As for future brews. I think I'll brew up a Dubbel for when the stout goes dry and a 4.0ABV Scottish 70/- for when my summery lawnmower beers run out.
Oh, and cider. I love having good fall cider in the winter.
