Guys,
I'm looking for feedback on the recipe below. I'm planning on entering it in a Winter Ale competition, which will be my first competition entry. I'm looking for something that will impress the BJCP judges in the first round, and also be popular with the "masses" who will rank it against 9 other beers in the finals (if I make it). The entry guidelines said they're more concerned with "good beer" than adhering closely to any one style. Here's what I've put together. Please let me know what you think!
