recipe:

1 can of Munton's Extra Light Liquid Malt Extract
Light Dry Malt Extract
Victory Malt and two others.
Hops?
Wyeast 3787 Trappist

Grains steeped in at 155 degrees and cooled for 35 minutes.
Bring to boil and remove grains.
Put in the first hops, about .5 ounces.
Add half of the DME and LME.
Then brought up to a boil and started the timer for 60 minutes.

With 10 minutes left add the next hops, about .75 ounce.

The last hops go in at 3 minutes left, about .75 ounce. These are for flavor.
Turned off the heat and added the last of the malts (Dry and Liquid). Cooled outside on the snowy deck then pitched the yeast the next morning.

Notes:This time we're using the Wyeast instead of White labs.  I wish I had a batch of the other around to compare with this yeast when it's done.
