Hi all, I am on my 23rd brew since I started in January. I have gotten the hang of adapting and modifying recipes, but this is my first one I built from scratch. I am definitely not sure on my hops selection. I wanted something high abv, a little dark, with some toasty notes. Please give me some feedback on things I may want to reconsider before I commit to 5 gallons of this bad boy. Thanks!
