Brewer's Notes
Subtype isn't right. This is a spiced/holiday ale.
juice & rind of 4 oranges. 2.5tsp nutmeg. 1.5 tsp cloves. 1tsp mixed spice. 6 cardamon pods crushed. 2 sticks + 1tsp cinnamon.
300g Macadamia Honey
Steeped grains. Honey @spices in separate pot @45. 10g Hersbrucker 20g Hallertau@45. 1kg DME @30. 2kg LME 25g Hersbrucker 20g Hallertau @15. Spices @ end.
I was worried the orange would dominate this as I hadn't originally planned to put in the juice as well. They don't but I would recommend only putting in half the juice personally.
This has been variously described as 'fig newton beer', 'pillow biscuit beer' and 'christmas pudding beer' so I think you get the picture as to what to expect aroma wise particularly.
