The recipe was originally designed with Mike McGuire, a local homebrewer and member of both the BURP and Worthogs local homebrewing clubs, when the original recipe took Best of Show at the homebrew competition Spirit of Free Beer put on by BURP in 2004. The malt bill is comprised of imported English pale, crystal, brown, and black malts and a good amount of roasted barley and flaked oats. Hopping is a very generous helping of English variety First Gold. This is a big and very flavorful beer.
