question: What is a good beer pairing for Toasted almond cake?
answer: A great choice for Toasted almond cake is 10 Heads High (Imperial Red Ale.). Here's the recipe:
  This Imperial Red Ale. features a complex malt bill including Extra Pale (4.75 kilograms), Caramalt (1.25 kilograms), and Crystal 150 (0.5 kilograms). The hopping schedule uses Chinook (20grams @ start), and Chinook (5grams @ middle) for balanced bitterness and aroma. Achieve the red colour by using the ratio of Caramalt, Crystal and Dark Crystal malts. The trick is to get the colour, without too much dried fruit character.
