This style seems to be one that is very difficult to find commercial examples of here in the States. Trying to brew to style based solely on BJCP guidelines has proven to be somewhat difficult. The use of graham crackers in this beer is obviously less than traditional but we were quite pleased with the results. Fortunately we should be able to enter this into a specialt category as well. This beer is fantastic sitting by the fire or watching football here during the frigid FLA winters... Any feedback or questions are much appreciated. Hopefully some of you have an opportunity to brew up this one!
