I recently made this beer, however I tried using rum instead of bourbon. The base beer does not have any carrot flavor though. Does this beer get most of it's carrot cake flavor from the vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg infused bourbon?
I have only added the infused rum to a glass of the carbed version in a keg, so making a bourbon infusion like the original recipe called for, waiting two weeks, then adding it is no problem.
I just don't know why I'm not getting any carrot flavor??? Has anyone else tried making this recipe?
