You might get more input by posting this in the Recipes/Ingredients forum instead of the recipe database, which is meant for proven recipes. That said, I really enjoy Tasman and am interested to see what you come up with.

Thanks for the input. This was a pretty good beer, although it wasn't really a tasman clone. Too much special b made it a bit too dark and chocolatey.

I made some adjustments. New thread here.
