I’ve never spiced such a light beer but I have done a holiday porter with some of your spices. I liked it at the time it had a cola like quality. I think cinnamon can be too much sometimes and recommend coarsely grinding a cinnamon stick instead of using the fine powder. Cardamon is a great spice but perhaps an acquired taste. Soak 3 or 4 cardamon seeds/pods in a gallon of ice tea and see how you like the taste. I think they go well with each other and you will be able to sense the cardamon enough to know if you like it.

Did a while back a xmas porter with spices. Did came out nice. Me got a weird feeling about using fresh peppermint
yes the peppermint sounds a little odd in that mix. I did a turmeric saison that was fun. The earthiness of the turmeric really played well with the saison and the beer had a great yellow hue.
