A historic, Colonial American ale recipe. Uses malt "Half high, half pale...." Malt of the day was wood fire kilned, and lent some smokey character, so some smoked malt was added. Hops were imported from England, so Kent Goldings fits the bill quite nicely. Primed with molasses and cask conditioned, as sugar was expensive and hard to come by at the time, and beer of the day was stored in wine barrels previously containing Port or Madeira. If you have a wine barrel, this is the perfect beer for it.
