I've done the Alpha King (not so) pale ale and Edmund Fitzgerald porter from here. Both came out very well, these recipes are good.
 
I like the look of the Edmund Fitzgerald Porter at 6.2% or thereabouts. Maybe brew Autumn for getting "wrecked" when the bad weather arrives.

I once owned a vinyl album "Best of Gordon Lightfoot" that featured the song " Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"
 
I've looked at this previously and found that only some of the recipes are published, not all.

So have just taken a second look and sure enough.
 
My brewing buddy and I have brewed the Boulevard Brewing Tank 7 clone recipe from the AHA database twice, and it has been spot on both times. They call it an "American Saison". I entered the recipe into BeerSmith, and BeerSmith users can find it on the Beer Smith Cloud by searching for Tank 741. Here is the plain text version. This was brewed on a Blichmann Engineering 10 gallon BrewEasy system, so the water and efficiency calculations are similar to a straight BIAB system. So we modified the recipe for that system and scaled it up for a 10 gallon batch. We used Belle Saison yeast which was not specified. The flavor profile it produces at really warm temperatures is outstanding.

Ah, the site used to let you view the recipes, but clearly that has now changed, sadly.
They were available only a couple of weeks ago, I just brewed the Mother Blonde Ale. They took the 2017 recipes down at least a year ago, I'm hoping that they put up another batch for 2020.
 
I wish I knew the taste of most of those beers. I've not seen many in the UK.
