Notes

Recipe is by John Zelazny and was in Brew your own magazine.
Really good beer that was great after storing for up to 3 years, the 4th year i'd say was past it's best.
This recipe here is slightly lower abv, i think the original was around 8.
Mash all grains at 67 °C (152 °F) for 60 min. Mash out at 76 °C (168 °F) for 10 min.
Add dried malt extract and maple syrup at boil.
Steep cherries in 2 L (2 qts) of first wort runnings. Strain out cherries and add this wort at end of boil.
Ferment at 17 - 18 °C (62 - 64 °F).
Dry spice in secondary for 2-3 weeks.
