Christmas Beer

Today I am brewing up a more experimental beer than I usually do, although not going that far out on a limb. I am making a spiced Belgian Strong Ale, which in itself isnt that different, I just dont know how the spices will work together. Most Belgians use candy sugar to increase the gravity and add some flavor, in this case I am using candy canes with the hope of giving it a very Christmas flavor. That combined with the cinnamon and orange peels I plan on using in seconday fermentation could prove to be a delicious winter warmer or a total abortion of a beer. We will have to wait and see.
