Anyone got a recipe for Firestone's DBA?
I saw something floating in the NB forum, but just checking here as well.
It looks like a cross between an Amber Ale and a ESB!

Firestone DBA is one of my favorite brews. B3 has a clone kit that comes pretty close. IF you don't want to buy the kit, search their forum for the recipe (I'm too lazy and drunk to do it now).
