I feel like someone has done this...maybe Dr. Dink? Of course, I think his was AG, but still, it could give you some ideas.

Is 1554 their Schwarzbier-ish beer? We may be able to come up with something that approximates it, if you can give us some more info on it.

hmmm...

probably not going to get close enough with just mr. beer ingredients. maybe Mr. Beer's Abbey Dubbel, Dubbel Trouble, Zealous Bock, or some other dark beer from their recipe list.

but, if you feel up for steeping some specialty grains, then there's probably some recipes out there that'll get you really close.

No, I did an AG version that came out awesome. Don't believe you will get there strictly with MB ingredients, but maybe a partial mash. You have to use a lager yeast like S23 at ale temps (63-65 degrees) to get the character right. The recipe is here: http://www.mrbeerfans.com/ubbthreads/ubb...html#Post140239, however I have since changed out the black patent with Carafa III and I add carapils to all my recipes for better head retention.

special B is pretty specific...its the deep caramel, sweet, raisiny notes that you get in a dubbel. It would be hard to get those flavors without it

Crystal 120 is probably the closest you'll get. It's a decent sub, though it's a bit lighter, and won't give you quite the same flavors, it'll get you close.
