Brew Batch #63 Pecan Porter

Just kegged this one tonight and had to cold drop it the old fashioned way, outside at 23F. Kegerator is on the fritz. I even ladled out the pecans and have dried them out at 350F for a little while to see how they pair with the beer. FG came in at 1.020-0.001 @52F, needless to say that through me off but with correction gives it a 6.56%abv. Taste is mellow and awfully quaffable at aforementioned cellar temp. Thinking about starting a "Your (no you're) Nuts series". I've read a good bit about pistachios, sunflowers seed and a few others with regards to their oils and types of beers they pair best with. Who knows maybe a pistachio stout is around the corner?
