For the most part I like how this turned out. Next time switch out the Hefe yeast for an english or scottish yeast.

Notes

Source: http://www.thebrewingnetwork.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10921 "Shredded carrots were boiled for 10 minutes with 1 pound of 2 row to gelatinize starches prior to adding to mash. Grated cinnamon, vanilla bean and nutmeg soaked in 6 oz. bourbon for two weeks. Strain and add to taste at kegging. Candied ginger root added to boil with 15 minutes left. " Thinking of adding Carrot Syrup in secondary to taste. ----- Next time put raisins in a muslin bag. Also boil the carrots and increase the strike water temp.
