I love Founders. 'Nuff said.
I never got to try the now-retired Black Biscuit, but it sounds incredible, so I'm gonna make an attempt at my first clone recipe, going off the notes from Beer Advocate.
"A cross between an Old Ale and a Baltic Porter. Brewed with a significant amount of biscuit malt and molasses." Users' tasting notes often bring up the words: oak, bourbon, vanilla, maple, boozy, roasty, malty, sweet
I think I'm really close here... all figures were estimated using the calculator at Brewer's Friend.
Recipe Type: Partial Mash
Yeast: American Ale (Wyeast #1056)
Yeast Starter: Yes - 1.5L
Batch Size (Gallons): 5.0
Original Gravity: 1.105
Final Gravity: 1.026
IBU: 51.98
Boiling Time (Minutes): 60
Color: 30.73
10.5 lb Maris Otter LME
1.00 lb Belgian CaraMunich
0.75 lb Belgian Caramel Pils

2.00 oz Newport (15.5% AA) @ 60 min (35.09 IBU)
0.50 oz Nugget (14.0% AA) @ 60 min (7.92 IBU)
0.50 oz Fuggles (4.5% AA) @ 30 min (1.96 IBU)
0.50 oz Nugget (14.0% AA) @ 30 min (6.09 IBU)
