Grains (steep w/ 1.5gal @150F for 40 minutes, rinse w/ 1.5 gal @170F)
1# 90L crystal
1/3# black roast
1/4# roasted barley
1/2# carapils (for head)
Extract/Sugar
6.5# Laaglander Dark DME (5.5# in boil, more at priming time but I don't know how much 1.25 cups of this weighs)
1.5# British Amber DME
1# brown sugar (to boost alcohol since the Laaglander DME is high in dextrins)
Misc
8-16 oz italian espresso (pre-brewed and added at priming time to taste)
Hops
1 oz perle for 60 minutes
Yeast
Wyeast SmackPack of Irish Ale Yeast (1084)
I've also got 0.25 oz of chinook left over from a previous brew that I'm considering tossing in, just to get rid of it.
update: I DID use the chinook, too. added it at 60 minutes.
