I am considering brewing a spruce tip white stout (or call it an ale if you prefer) and trying to figure out if it’s going to be any good. I’d love to get a 2nd+ opinion. I want a nice thick body, and slight resinous flavor without feeling like I am chewing on pine. I thought the honey and smoked malts might balance the pine flavor, kind of like a sitting around a fire the snow in the woods in late December.
I do want it to be a little…different, but still drinkable, not one of those where you are happy you had just one.

16% flaked oats

4% cherry smoked malt
