I like spiced beers when the spice or flavouring isn't too potent - extreme brewing doesn't suit the genre IMO (i.e. in the sense of adding more and stronger of everything). But when the spice or flavour is an accent and balanced or even shadowed by good hopping, excellent results can follow. Coriander and similar flavours can do excellent work in stout and other beers when well-used for example, but this is true (in my experience) also of sweet gale and other of the berries, herbs or spices traditionally used.<br /><br />GaryGary Gillmannoreply@blogger.com
