I have tweaked this a few times, switching to the Scottish Wyeast, a lower fermentation temperature, and using Golden Promise malt. After the runnings clear, I collect the first 2 quarts and carmelize by boiling it down to 1 quart. The raisin-like flavor from the Special B and the carmelization are accentuated by the dark berry flavor from the Pacific Gem hops. It was a 3rd place recipe that will hopefully improve with the ingredient switches.
