It says "P. 204 Clone Brews book, from Orkney Brewery, Orkney, Scotland."

Here's a Google search forya: https://www.google.com/search?q=Skull+Splitter+clone+|+recipe

 

I would not use that recipe for a clone.

My first stab would be this:
Marris otter two-row, crystal 60, crystal 120, and a little chocolate. Go light on the hopping.

If you truly wan to get close, get as close as you can to the original ingredients: British 2-row pale, either Golden Promise or Marris Otter, and what BushDoctor recommends, crystal 60 & 120 and light on the chocolate, 2%? Which is maybe a half a cup? And stay with E. Kent Goldings, stay away from the resiny American C-hops. Never tried Safale, i would go liquid Wyeast or White Labs Scotish yeast.

 

This recipe is better, Skull splitter has a lot of body, ditch the sugar. I am not sure about the peat though. The last time I had a peated beer was Founders Dirty Bastard, which I did not care for at all. I never got a really smokey taste from skull splitter.

Trek forth and see how it goes.
