I had heard about this in November 09 and wanted to brew it for Christmas. But it would never have been ready so I will be brewing it probably around mid May or June. That way it has time to lager for a while. I have spices in my recipe, but you can take them out if you like. I have not brewed this so I have no reference on taste, however it is a simple recipe and the spices, hops, and grains should go well together.
You are more than welcome to critique the recipe and/or make it your own. I would not clasify it as a "Solid" recipe but it is a recipe none the less, It will take a few more iterations for that. So it will be on my brew list for a long time to come.
Cheers
Preston
