Wow this beer went quicker than I thought.  You'll have to wait till next holiday season for another festive spiced beer.  I originally thought this beer didn't turn out but after some cold conditioning it really improved.  It was a bit light for a "winter warmer" but this allowed me and some buddies to add Spicebox Whiskey to crank up the alc and add more spiced flavor.... best boilermakers ever!
