If you want a roastier brew let me know and I will pass on a couple ideas.

I'm trying to achieve a nice mix of caramel, roasted and coffee notes in the palate and the nose. I really like your idea of a single large hop addition, so I modified my recipe to fit that same mold.
I'm unsure if WLP007 will handle it, but it's one of my favorites and should lend to a somewhat dry finish.
I'd love to hear your ideas on getting more roaty tones in it.
