Ancient Egyptians were known for their brewing prowess, even immortalizing it in their hieroglyphics. Barley and wheat spiced with mandrake root (an aphrodisiac), dates and honey; their beer began as loaves of bread stomped into submission and fermented lovingly to render a drinkable wage. Our amped-up take on appeasing your inner sphinx is easier to brew than the original, while keeping the key flavors at heart. Blood red malt and a little wheat form the core, with a little sugar and spice to bring it all together for a tasty trip down memory lane in the Valley of the Kings. A dash of cayenne provides the bite that sealed the queen's fate, but here it is pleasure, not pain, that carries you away.

    Decided to revive an archived recipe

    This struck my fancy a way to gussy up a That Voodoo That You Do recipe with the addition of date sugar cardomom ginger. A low-key spiced beer. Since there's only one review thought I'd go into detail here.Followed recipe here but put in hatch peppers in dry-hop instead of cayenne. A little more vegetable- flavor less pure heat. In LBK for 3 weeks and bottle conditioned for 7 weeks. This is much less sweet than regular Voodoo possibly due to adding date sugar instead of brown sugar and honey which I believe mostly fermented out. Ever so slight molassas quality. Cardomom I put in only 3/4 tsp aware of warnings not to overdue it. It makes it a bit musty and chai like. Interesting not fantastic but not terrible either.Very little heat bite at the end. Ginger is a nice addition adds nice bite ends up feeling a bit heavier than That Voodoo drier at the end. I might have put in more pepper but wanted to be cautious. This isn't spectacular but a way to change up a base of Bewitched Amber and Golden LME with adjuncts.

    With less cardamom this would be spectacular

    I wanted darker sugars in this one so I searched heaven and earth or at least all the local grocers for actual Date Sugar. This saved the batch I think. The recipe calls for far too much cardamom probably needing only 1-3 to 1-4 of what's called for for a 2 Gallon Batch. I actually reduced the cayenne in this to 1-4 and was pleasantly rewarded with just a slight bite at the end perfect for this size batch.Do this and be rewarded with a malty spicy brew with a residual sweetness and a bit of bite at the end.
