Has anyone tried their local microbrewery's version of the PRA celebrating the 300th Anniversary of Benjamin Franklin's birth?

No, but the one I made is wonderful! The keg is nearing empty. I need to make another.

No one in Houston made it... I was depressed about it... so I made it myself as well.
Just bottled it the other day... should be ready in a few weeks. I am going to let it age for about a month to a month and a half before crackin' em open. Now THAT... is torture.

I tried the one at Taps in Brea, CA. Very good. I have 5 gallons that I made that is ready to drink, I am just waiting for either my Vienna lager or my Arrogant Bastard clone kegs to finish up so I can put Poor Richard on tap since I only have two taps in my kegerator.

I tried it at Iron Hill here in PA and was QUITE impressed. Then I brewed my own just last Sat. I am getting ready to rack into secondary.

I finally cracked one of my PRA yesterday... damn that is a GOOD beer! I love the nutty roasty flavor.
What flavor profiles does the molasses add?

On feb. 16th...
Couldn't take it eh?
I'm surprised and impresed that you lasted this long...
What was your FG? I just kegged mine yesterday, and FG was 1.026, within the range of the recipe, but high. Then again OG was 1.068...
Based on no aging, I could REALLY taste the molasses. I added .25lbs of molasses, and it was smooth, but almost rumlike in flavor. Definitely nice though...
Enjoy!
