This is something along the lines of the Brewing classic styles version with my tweaks and without chocolate cause i dont like it.
OG: 1054
75% Pale Malt
9% Munich
8% crystal/ caramalt 60L
5% Victory
Wyeast 2112 - fermented at 16 degrees
You really need to use this yeast for it to be a true steam beer or the whitelabs equivalent, the yeast plays a big part.
Edit: you may need some hops in it too...
Northern brewer all the way.

20ibu @ 15min
1g / L flameout addittion

Comes out pretty good. Its straight out of Brewing Classic Styles. The only thing that stops me brewing it more often is the yeast, I can't seem to get my yeast library up to scratch....
Good Luck, its a great beer style!
