Has anyone brewed this ?
It was a great show, and the description of this beer during the show has me keen to give it a go.
Wondering if anyone has an followup on it.

Not yet. It's in my queue.

[Imakewort]

has anyone brewed it yet, and how did it turn out.

I brewed this up 3 weeks ago. Tapped the keg on Monday. It turned out a bit too roasty for my tastes. I even waited until the last 15 minutes of the mash to add the Black Malt.

To me it turned out more like a brown ale. It will be fine and I'll keep it on tap, but it's probably not the best thing to have on tap in this 100+ heat.

Here are a few pictures. With a light shining through it, it does have some red. With no light, it is more of a brown.
