We were trying for an ale that would compliment sinngle malt Scotch; experimentation paired it better with Irish, part. Bushmill's. Too popular - 5 gallons went in one night.

second batch not as good

tried another batch, with Nottingham yeast; under attenuated. This recipe is dependent on an alcohol resistant yeast and good starter. If it doesn't ferment out all the way it's too sweet.
