To drink? Once.
To brew? Never.

I overdid one of my own last year and I've still another 2 gallons to get through, no one else wants it after the first sip.
The same hairs stand up when I drink this as did with BrewDog's. It wasn't restricted to those on my neck and I'm bald headed.

I be tempted to half the amount of the caramel malts, you've got almost 10% there which is a shitload given the size of the beer. And I'm a member of the anti-caramel police in american style hoppy beers so I'd probably leave them out entirely even if they are part of the proper grainbill

It's a cracking beer imo, the best hoppy one they do. Let us know how it turns out if you try it

All hops are leaf

Thanks guys still laughing at these posts. Especially thanks to Hanglow as I'm not a huge fan of Crystals either, wasnt sure if I'd overdone it.
Will take into account Alix101's recipe, especially the Biscuit and less Crystal.
If I get round to brewing it I'll post it up!

How was yours Alix? Nice n bitter and hoppy? What yeast did you use?
