Ok, this helps out a bit. I was wondering if a light extract would work. Is a light malt similar to pale malt? The recipe was for a bourbon vanilla porter I found online. It seems popular; it's got 40 pages written on it at
http://forum.northernbrewer.com/viewtopic.php?t=22693&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 . I have a partial mash recipe for it. The ingredients are:
6.60 lb Pale Liquid Extract (8.0 SRM) Extract 49.0 %
2.09 lb Brewers Malt 2-Row (Briess) (1.8 SRM) Grain 15.5 %
1.90 lb Munich 10L (Briess) (10.0 SRM) Grain 14.1 %
1.24 lb Brown Malt (65.0 SRM) Grain 9.2 %
0.82 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt -120L (120.0 SRM) Grain 6.1 %
0.41 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM) Grain 3.1 %
0.41 lb Chocolate (Briess) (350.0 SRM) Grain 3.1 %
1.77 oz Magnum [14.00%] (60 min) Hops 25.8 IBU
1.10 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.00%] (10 min) Hops 2.1 IBU
0.25 tsp Irish Moss (Boil 10.0 min) Misc
1 Pkgs American Ale (Wyeast Labs #1056) Yeast-Ale
And of course, vanilla beans and bourbon.
I've been looking at Midwest Supplies, in particular

Would something such as Breiss Light Unhopped Liquid Malt Extract work for the pale extract?
Thanks guys!
