Looking for a Scotch Ale "Iron Thistle"

I'm looking for a Scotch Ale recipe similar to Rahr & Sons' Iron Thistle.

2009's Champion in the Scottish-Style Ale category at the 15th Annual United States Beer Tasting Championship  (USBTC).

Me to!!! I live in Houston, and have a case coming from Dallas this week.
Hate to admit it, but it's almost as good as mine! d:

Style: Scottish Style Ale
Alcohol By Volume: 8.0%
International Bitterness Units: 25
Color: Dark Brown
Hops: Warrior
Malts: 2 Row, Vienna, Crystal, Chocolate, Carafa Special II
Tasting Notes: Deeply Malty, Caramel, Light Hops

Cheers
Preston

Preston,

Thanks for the info! If I come to Houston in the near future I'll bring you a case.

It's a wonderfully complex beer. I can taste a little smoked and / or peated malt.

If I design a recipe that's close, I'll share it with you.

That would be great! Beer and a recipe! I could offer up some of my HomeBrew as an exchange (Good Beer should be shared). My local specs carries Rawr & Sons but have yet to carry Iron Thistle. It is listed in their computers, but no one has it yet. Cant wait to have some more.

Cheers

[edit] I just sent Rahr & Sons an email asking for the recipe. Sometimes breweries will be kind enough to give the recipe if asked. Fingers Crossed![/edit]

I have visited Houston five times and fabulous experience for me. Could you indulged me in the offer of your HomeBrew as an exchange (Good Beer should be shared). I am greatly involved in this exchange. Whats say?
