The private key starts with '6Pf', though.
That gives you some indication of the encryption algorithm used: EC multiply, no compression, no lot/sequence numbers, according to BIP38.
Whether that makes it any easier to brute force, I don't know.

That does make it somewhat easier. I'd suspect the best method is really gonna be trying out combinations of words or something like that.
