Alaskan Heritage Coffee Brown Ale (Blind attempt at a clone)

[DeadGuyNick]

It's been a few years since I've seen this beer available to me (PNW), and I miss it! I decided to try and make it as best I can. They provide some recipe clues on their website, but other than that I'm going in kind of blind. I can't even get the beer here to taste it, so it's all off memory (which is not that great, ha!)

Here's what I decided on, brewing tomorrow:

Grain bill:
13 lbs Maris Otter pale
1 lb English malted oats
12 oz UK Chocolate

Hop additions:
.5 oz Cascade @ 60 min
.5 oz Calypso @ 15 min

Yeast:
Some WLP090 San Diego Super Yeast I've harvested from another beer, and WLP005 British Ale. Making a starter night before to get the WLP005 going. I'm gonna take all this yeast and use it for an imperial stout I plan to brew next.

Expected results:
OG - 1.078
FG - 1.014
IBU - 20.2
ABV - 8.4%

I'll update this post when all is said and done, and see if it turned out!

Oops! Never came back to update. It turned out ok. It didn't remind me of the original at all, but it was still good.
