Has anyone sucessfully cloned Firestone Walkers Velvet Merlin? If so, please post your recipes.

IPA4ME said:Also, as far as I can remember Merkin and Merlin are the exact same beer.
Please refer to my above post. I lived a mile from Firestone Brewery for 5 years
IPA4ME said:Yeah, saw that...but before they upped the ABV and aged it in bourbon barrels and even before they bottled the beer, it was originally called Velvet Merkin.
The original Velvet Merkin is the exact same thing as what is bottled today and known as, Velvet Merlin.
I remember first drinking this beer way back when, on cask and falling in love with it...I live about 200 miles away from the brewery
Not trying to get into a pissing match, just saying....
Now, has anyone successfully cloned this beer or have come close?

Putting together my own Velvet Merlin clone and wondering if you could offer any feedback on the last recipe you posted? What adjustments would you make if you were to do this again?
Wondering also if you'd post what advice Matt B gave to you with respect to this recipe.
Thanks!
