    used one of those in college to make tea and ramen in my dorm room. Somehow the thought of putting it into beer never occurred to me.

    Curious... how does heating beer help with their stomachs? Is it the carbonation that bothers them and this makes the beer flat?

    Yes, they believe that both removing the carbonation and making it warm makes it easier on the stomach. Germans don't like super cold drinks in general. When my German in-laws come to the States they will let the ice in their drinks melt before they take even one sip. Weirdos... :wink:

    Actually most of the rest of the world does not like their beverages ice cold like Americans - it is not just the Germans.

    I thought the rationale for avoiding ice cold beverages when you have stomach issues had to due with the fact that they caused the blood vessels in the stomach to contract resulting in a greater amount of acid being released during digestion.

    That is what they claim, yes. They always have a very rational explanation for their weird behaviors :wink:

    That is also something that is claimed/true for a lot of Eastern Medicine (like traditional Chinese medicine).

    It took me an hour to drink a Prairie Bomb. The difference in taste from the removal of the cap, to the final drink, was night and day for me. So many flavors came out as it warmed, I was truly caught off guard. That might be worthy of a test mull, without all the added spices.

    hhmmmm ....

    Oh boy. I heated up that Double or Nothin. It was fucking awful. It was basically a burnt rotted log. Just absolutely terrible. Thinking it may have been due to the oak aging? Idk. Never again.

    Don't know if anyone listens to the Sour Hour but Jay and Scott have been talking about it for a few shows now. Sounds like more of a Euro thing but last show with Cascade they said they do this with a sour every year. Sounded like it sells pretty fast and is pretty well received. Since all the above mentioned beers are not sour figured I would throw that out there. If anyone is near the Cascade brewing and can chime in that would be great. Definitely would try it at least once.

    Based on the comments it seems like stronger sweeter bockbier is the best candidate for this sort of thing. Gonna pick up some Samichlaus this week and try it warm, then maybe try a more traditional recipe and compare the results. Also thinking about Aecht Schlenkerla Eiche but maybe that would be too weird...

    Tried it with a few beers, and at best it was "ok but would prefer cold"

    I tried to spice and warm up a quad last year, I can't find my notes, but it was throw-the-glass-out-the-window bad. I may (or not) try again, but with 3-4 times the spice that seems supportable. Maybe a shot of booze for backbone. For both of us (me and it).
