Well it's the end of August and the evenings are getting darker. Time to start thinking about beers for Christmas.
This year I've decided to split up my beers. I've 8 taps, 4 in the house and 4 in my shed. I'm going to keep the house taps and regular 4-6ish% beers, mostly hoppy pales.
The shed beers is where the fun starts. I've 2 weeks hols coming up and plan on brewing my yearly barleywine for one tap. other then that I'm undecided. Brown ale , DIPA and prob a stout for nitro tap will probably all make it on but would love to do something different. ideas welcome. 
So whats everyone else planning?

Vanilla, Coconut, Coffee, Tonka, Raspberries all lend themselves to a nice stout.

A big double Roggen would be my request

Yeah, I ground a couple of beans up and added to a clean yeast vial of vodka and soaked.  Added to FV when primary fermentation was finished.
