Anyone have a clone recipe?
Thanks.
The late great Bill Pierce wrote an article about Ballantine ales years ago, and fortunately someone on the Northern Brewer forum posted it, so all I had to do was cut and paste.

WOW, thanks for posting this… I remember this being the first beer I seen my dad drink and he would let me steal some sips when mom wasn’t around. LOL I’m definitely going to brew this in his honor!!!

That looks accurate. I might put that on my to do list.
Thank you!
I didn’t realize the Ballentine XXX I was drinking in the 70’s was 5.7% ABV!
