I'm planning on brewing this in early July. I've made a lot of changes to this based on the Dunkel I brewed (which is coming into its own and tastes much better with 1/4oz cold coffee added to each 16oz bottle when poured).
I removed the molasses and I'm using 2 different, equal parts of dark candi syrup to try to make the flavors slightly more complex. I'm also upping the grain bill and will wet toast the grains. I'll still toast them dark, though I found that really did not do much of anything for the color.
I'm using more hops than in a traditional doppelbock based on Bluffwallace saying he uses extra hops with his dark beers and also my findings that hops work well with gf beer.
5 Gallon Batch
3lbs Tapioca Syrup
3lbs Brown Rice Syrup
1lb 8ozQuinoa
1lb Oats, Steel Cut (Pinhead Oats)
1lb D-180
1lb Dark Brown Sugar
1lb D-90
8oz boiled Amaranth
Hops
60 mins 1.5 German Northern Brewer
15 mins 0.5 German Northern Brewer
5 mins 0.25 Tettnang
1 min 1.0 Hallertauer
Thoughts?
