I've brewed this beer twice already. The first time around I followed the recipe exactly and used the best of both worlds yeast. It turned out great. Great color, great flavor. Nice toasty, nutty flavor. The second time around I used this as a base for a pumpkin ale. I added some pumpkin spice mix with 5 minutes left in the boil. After primary fermentation I racked to a secondary and added 2oz of hungarian oak that had been soaking in fireball for about a month. I aged the beer on the fireball soaked oak for about 3.5 months, then bottled the beer. I bottle conditioned for about 3.5 more months. I just tasted it and it was amazing. Great flavor, not overpowering pumpkin with a slight fireball boozy after finish.
