Goose island festivity ale clone

Does anyone have a clone recipe for goose island's festivity ale? Just tried it on tap at the local bar n grill and had two tall ones with dinner a very good winter brew!

Did this clone work? I've got it in the primary now but would appreciate any advice on how to finish it. Went in on Sunday and is still bubbling occasionally on Friday morning.

I was inspired to try a similar beer last year. My recipe was similar to the one posted above. Malt bill was nearly identical except I added 8 oz. aromatic and 6 oz. special B and 1.5 lbs of sugar. For bittering hops I used Magnum and CTZ. Finished with EKG. I used Wyeast 1332 Northwest Ale yeast which worked really well with this style. Turned out great very similar to Festivity.
