This is my take on the original recipe that was developed to celebrate Ben Franklin’s 300th birthday. Mine was brewed on 11 November 07. I will update this as the brew comes along. I used Belgian Candi Syrup in place of molasses just for fun. Plus I had some I needed to use up.
You can find the original recipe here:

It was a very nice drinkable beer. If I ever make it again though, I want it to be a touch maltier. I might add a bit of crystal to the grain bill.
