I have brewed this recipe three times now, and feel it is pretty good. I would appreciate any feedback (bad or good) from those that have tried it as I am planning on entering it in an upcoming contest. My only personal complaint is that depending upon the serving temp it varies greatly in both aroma and taste - stronger alcohol note at cellar temps. Thanks.

I just made a similar beer style, and i had the same problem. At cellar temp. beer taste great, and hops attenuation and ABV is very noticeable. I also notice at refrigerator temperature is not bad either, the problem comes when you drink the beer at almost freezing temperature, feels like you are drinking water. I ask questions to some brewers and they all agree the certain beer styles are meant to drink at warmer temperature than your average light beers. That is why stouts, porter, etc. are more commonly drink in winter times vs Light beer in the summer times. I notice you added this comment in 2002, if you ever read this comment, please i will like to hear how you did in the contest (if you ever did), and if you have made any changes to this recipe.
