I've had a request by a co-worker to brew an almond beer. That is all the direction that she has given me. I finally caved and told her that I would brew it for Zapp's. Now I have to determine what that exactly means. Ideas?

I'd probably go with something lighter rather than a typical nut brown. Maybe an almond cream ale or something like that so it doesn't get hidden. Or I guess you could go the chocolate almond route.

Of course, I'd also likely take the easy route and use this at kegging, instead of dealing with actual almonds:

Doppelbock with amaretto? Hmm, that might be too cloying.

My first thought was something along the lines of a Chocolate Almond Stout, but that seems well obvious.. a bit boring.. and the almond may get lost.

Saison/Farmhouse aged on oak cubes soaked in some amaretto... Sounds kind of a like 'fall saison'.
