I'm pretty sure this is as close to the actual recipe as I could get. The dark barley amount might be a little off, but its definitely very close.
Friends tell me its the best thing I've ever brewed, and some say its one of the best stouts they've ever had, so I'm very encouraged. It's "like" Guinness in some respects, but still very unique in its overall taste. - Very similar body, head, and texture for example.
Planning to brew again soon!
