Notes

Recipe was from website of the now-defunct Dan's Homebrewing in Vancouver, BC and claimed to have been provided by the Bomber brewer himself (who apparently had once been an employee of Dan's). The result from my first try (with Gambrinus ESB base malt) was virtually indistinguishable from the commercial beer (only fresher).
