Generally don't like to many of Sam's beers but I had two of these last Xmas and was just wondering if anyone could recommend an equivalent partial recipe. Found a clone online that looks like a good start but It sounds like it might turn out a little darker than I want. Just want a nice winter warmer with good spice notes and heavy on the abv for the frosty nights.

That is loosely based on an old Dutch recipe for "Haalem Bokbier" which calls for something like 50% oats. You can sub those for more malt of course. I came up with it because someone at the restaurant I worked at got the wrong kind of oats and lost the receipt, so I got the oats and used them the best I could. I tasted some 2 nights ago (It's almost 4 months old) and it's already a great winter warmer, by the time winter actually gets here it will be awesome!
