If anyone has had this amazing beer and discovered that they immediately retired it, you know why a proper clone is absolutely necessary.
Just working off info from Goose's website, random interviews of brewers and techniques they've used in other English style and Imperial beers. My computer (with beersmith) is in the shop, so I'm just using Hopville. I'll run it through my system later.

I know its not exact, but it looks pretty damned close.
I'll probably brew a nice big batch of ESB or English IPA first then rinse the yeast and pitch according to the pitch rate calculator.
What do you all think? Any glaring errors or do you think this could work?
