My real question really is regarding the use of the chocolate malt. I definitely want it in there, just have never used it before so I'm looking for a little reassurance I guess. I don't want it to be overpowering, but I would like it to be noticeable. Thought about even addaing maybe a half pound of Munich 10 as well. Thoughts on chocolate malt or just general comments are welcome. Taking a twist on a different winter brown ale recipe I saw on this site. I asked a few questions on that recipe but didn't receive any answers so I'm just going to open it up to everyone for discussion. Here's the reader's digest version:
