MIKE'S recipe from More Beer. Added a little leftover brown and caramel 90. DME for larger volume and incr ABV. Oh, and 1 oz of sweet orange peel. Had it for another batch but didn't use. Thought it might play well with the amber ale and the cascade hops.

Whirlfloc in boil at 10 minutes. Sweet orange peel in at 5.
