Stout Recipe

Hello,

I am fairly new to brewing, this will only be my 3rd batch. I got an Irish Stout kit from Midwest Supplies for X-mas. I was thinking of making it into a chocolate cherry stout or a bourbon stout, but wasn't sure how to go about either one, or whether or not either of these would work. Also, if I was going to do a bourbon stout I think I would want to boost the alcohol content somehow... Here are the ingredients that came with the kit:

Fermentables:
-6lbs dark liquid malt extract

Specialty Grains (steep at 155 for 30 mins):
-4 oz chocolate malt
-4 oz caramel 10L
-4 oz roasted barley
-4 oz flaked barley

Hops:
-1/2 nugget
-1 oz willamette

Yeast:
-White Labs Irish Ale Yeast WLP004

Any tips, suggestions etc. would be greatly appreciated. Also, is this still considered extract brewing, or is it partial/mini mash? Thanks.

This is considered partial extract in that you are using extract and grains that you steep (as opposed to mash).

Here's a link to a cherry stout on HBT (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f37/cherry-stout-w-coopers-86757/) you might have a search through the forums to see what else you can find...
