Im looking for some help/suggestions on making an old dominion oak barrel stout clone. I recently visted the Fordham (who acquired Old Dominion) brewery and really loved this beer. I think it was voted best beer in Delaware this year or something. Anyways, while at the brewery tour I saw one of their "Brew Log" sheets and took note of a few of the ingredients but couldn't remember it all 
. It appears the recipe has changed since the BYO Magazine had a clone recipe in 2005. Here is what I have so far, I'd appreciate thoughts/feedback.
From their website they state they use Willamette and Cascade hops. I don't remember any really hop flavors in the beer (will have to taste some again soon) so I am not sure which order they are hopped and what the times are. I haven't made this yet, but was hoping for others who have a better pallete to help with the hopping schedule. Thanks in advance.
