Winter Warmer

[Beezy]

I have had this style one time maybe. I don't know much about it but I want to make one anyway. What's your recipes?

I think (not 100% sure) it started off as an English Style with, malty, darker, higher abv. Now it seems to be any interpretation. I just brewed a Belgian Winter Warmer for the first time. It's bubbling away next to me. Hoping it's good. We'll find out in about a month. Here's the recipe.

I agree. I usually make some sort of big brown or scotch ale as the base.

BJCP mentions is alot under Old Ale. Like a 6% Old Ale. I am kinda on the English tip right now might go that way.
