Inspired by tasting Fourpure's Into the Woods festive gingerbread ale. This is not a replica recipe but an attempt at my own style of gingerbread ale using my own homegrown hops - cascade for citrus and grapefruit, styrian goldings for some pepper. If you can't get biscuit malt you can drop it altogether. The Crystal 90 is 'Dark Crystal Malt' (240 EBC). If you don't want the pepper, drop the Styrian altogether and just use Cascade. Fourpure use Amarillo for their recipe. Malt bill adapted from here: https://homebrew.stackexchange.com/questions/1868/what-malt-should-i-use-to-get-a-red-beer
