Hello yall. This is the first recipe I have written myself and is kind of a frankenstein recipe combing some of my favorite commercial stuff with my own ideas thrown in. I like really aggressive beer with unique flavors so I wrote it with that in mind. Since I am totally amateur, I was wondering what you guys think, should I change anything? Does this sound awful? I want some expert opinions before I go buy ingredients.
