Filmlabrat's Black Mild?

[brewerTristan]

This was mentioned on the latest session by Push as being a great beer. I wonder does anyone have the recipe (Filmlabrat himself perhaps)? It sounds like an interesting idea.

Hmm. I PM'd Film' about this, but no response. Weird. He's a good dude, but maybe he's blocking me

Interesting recipe. Why did you choose an American ale yeast over the more standard English?
