I just put this in the secondary, with the beans. It smells really good and the samples taste good as well. THe spice will need the 4 months to mellow out, but it should be good
Needed morehops

THis was a big hit. Nice deep brwon color, and just the right hint of spice. A month in the bottle really helped this brew out. Not sure I got full usage of the hops. Need to tweek that in future batches.
