Hoof Hearted Imperial Brown Ale

The taps are running a little low and it's time to brew again.  This time we're going big and brown!  The recipe for this ale is not mine, but that of Mike McDole whom I've mentioned before in this blog.  Mike's late wife, Janet, loved this imperial brown so he named it Janet's Brown Ale.  I've just added a little more whimsy to the name and label.  ;-)  I can't wait to smell the garage on Sunday when this is boiling away!

Here's the recipe and label:
