Cascadian Dark Ale Recipe

I brewed this recipe up for the Greater Everett Brewer’s League (GEBL) Hop Madness IPA Bracket Challenge. I started out with an idea of what I wanted it to taste like, bounced my ideas off a couple of homebrewers I know to get their input, did a little research on the web, and came up with the following recipe. I bottled a bit to enter and share, and put the rest on tap. I like this one a lot, the keg is already almost empty. If it wins any prizes great, if not it's still a winner in my book.
