Notes

An attempt to clone Downtown Brown - based on my research and tasting experience. I live in a rural location, not downtown.

Reduced chocolate from 4oz to 2oz to decrease the bite. Doubled special B to 8oz for more raisin flavor. Swapped 4 oz each of 90L & 120L for 1 lb 120L. Added 12 oz oats for body.
