Orlando - At the bottom of the recipes section, plain text in drop-down, then right click on the text field, select all, then copy (have to use mouse keyboard short cuts don't work!).

Update on this one, about halfway through the pressure barrel, and this is NICE!
Beautiful head on this bad-boy, with Guinness esk lacing, cloudy still, I guess late hops have left residue in suspension.
Very subtle aroma, odd considering the steep, perhaps I should have dry hopped it. (at the last minute I decided to use 40g in the aroma steep instead of a dryhop split)
Lovely hop taste, a little earthy, in a nice way, I don't really get blackberries, perhaps you need more to get that to come through intensely, but I can imagine this working nicely with another lighter flowery hop like EKG.
If I was to brew again I might want to dry this out a touch, get a higher ABV (came out at 4.3%) cut back on the special malts, perhaps lower the crystal and amber a touch, and boost the late hops, combining with another perhaps EKG or Cascade, but it's pretty nice as is :)
