First gen was from some left over stuff from BM's Centennial Blonde that I added a little chocolate malt to.

It's pretty good and kind of reminds me of St. Arnold's Amber, which I really like.

So, in that spirit I am trying to brew a close cousin perhaps of that brew. Maybe just a hair darker and richer?

With my limited experience and a little searching and referencing other recipes I am submitting this for your much needed and appreciated critique.

Here is what they claim Saint Arnold Amber Ale
