Well-modified pale malt, either American or Continental, plus crystal and darker malts should complete the malt bill. American hops are typical, but UK or noble hops can also be used. Moderate carbonate water would appropriately balance the dark malt acidity.

Session Notes
Yeast Strain(s) Used: American 1056
Fermentaion Temp: 68°F
Add the heavy toast american oak cubes (2 oz) (that you have soaked in bourbon overnight) along with the 3 vanilla beans (split) into the secondary. This will mimic the 7-9 months that it would need to condition in a cask. Taste every week or so until the flavor is where you want it (if you aren't there after 3 weeks, add more beans and/or some bourbon to taste).
