Your choice of brew should be decided based on what and when you want to drink it. If you want to drink it next week, don't decide to brew a barleywine.
An APA or IPA is always good. Maybe a stout if you like those. I've had a Burton ale fermenting for about a week & a half now. But that one will be for no sooner that turkey day. But,I guess anything short of a wheat beer would take till then from BK to glass at this point. So I'd go with a pale ale of some kind if you don't want to wait on a big beer to get good in bottles.
He's brewing extract. If you want,go to my profile & check out my Sunset Gold APA recipe. All extract,easy & quite good with a malt profile/color similar to DFH's.
