Through the Ale Darkly

Honey Pumpkin Christmas Ale with Chinook Hops, Alpha 11.9% Beta 3.2%.

At this stage, this offbeat adjunct ale tastes better than anticipated, after all, it was not a kit, but components that came together to makes some promising flavor.   The next step will include a few Radical additions, to use storied beer writer and brew master, Randy Mosher's phrase.  We're talking pine needles, clove, nutmeg... seasonal flavors. 

I'm going to set aside a few gallons for test kitchen ideas, including Kelp for texture.
