I haven't, no. I've made other ones similar though, I just often tweak recipes to change the beer, or to adjust to use ingredients I have on hand already.

Re: Decembeer Exchange #7 - Winter Warmer
Enjoyed this one. Before looking to find out what kind of beer this was I guessed it would be a dunkelweizen. I guess the subtle spicing threw me off. Tasty nonetheless, I liked the malt character. It had a few higher hot alcohols but they didn't detract from the beer too much. Thanks!

I really enjoyed this. Not over the top spiced. Very pleasant. I'm a big fan of chocolate malt, so that made it extra good for me.

Was a little worried with this one as I am not usually a fan of a spiced beer. Spices were subtle and very pleasant. Thanks!

Re: Decembeer Exchange #7 - Winter Warmer
Spices were mild, I think you could have used more to be honest. I got a touch of oxidation out of it but I think it lent well to the character of the beer. Thanks for sharing

It took a few drinks for me to warm up to this one but i enjoyed it. I was a little worried i wouldn't like it after I tried Garrison's last year. I liked that the spices weren't too strong.

Second spiced beer that is good. I think it's a little boozy but that may just be the spices.

Re: Decembeer Exchange #7 - Winter Warmer
Just had this one. It's not as clean as I would have expected given the yeast. I can see what Adam meant when he said dunkelweizen. I prefer this beer the way it is and I like that it's not clean. Good job and thank you.

Re: Decembeer Exchange #7 - Winter Warmer
Spicing was pretty subtle - could have used more. Underlying beer was great, so I didn't miss the spice.

Enjoyed this one last night. Would be a great winter campfire beer on a snowy night.

Great beer. Didn't look at what it was when I opened it. Pleasant surprise!

Nice on a cold Monday eve, subtle spice but defiantly a warmer. Thanks
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
