Description:

This is the only spiced beer I've made; it came out very well. The recipe is based on Dottie's Brown Ale by Charles Lawhon, which appeared in Zymurgy v. 14, Number 2.

The spices more-or-less masked the flavoring hops, so I might try reducing or removing them next batch. I also intend to add cinnamon and/or dried orange rind.

Ingredients:

• 7 pounds, dark Munton & Fison malt extract syrup (2 cans)
• 1/2 pound, crystal malt
• 1 pound, chocolate malt
• 1 ounce, Fuggles pellet hops -- boil
• 1 ounce, Fuggles pellet hops -- 15 minutes before end of boil
• 1 nutmeg, grated -- 15 minutes before end of boil
• 1 ounce (approx.), sliced ginger root -- 15 minutes before end
