High gravity oatmeal milk stout

This is my next brew. I would like some comments on it as this is my first stout. I will be doing this in biab so that is reason for the larger grain bill. Last biab I hit 75% eff. so hoping for the same as this is what I have calculated. I am looking for a good nutty coffee sweeter stout that is heavy and great to sit around a fire during the cold months. advice is appreciated

just wondering if anyone has some incite on this recipe. any subsitutions or what not, if not i'm brewing soon

I think it looks ok...what is your estimated OG? I think that info would help.

I think the whole pound of chocolate malt AND 3/4 pound of might be a bit much. I'd scale back the choc malt to 10 ounces but that's just me. Also, what is the batch size?

5.0 gal batch size.

Sorry guys. When it got moved I lost the rest of my info

Really wanting a black beer with a darker tan head

Be forwarned. I made a milk stout that had an OG of 1.074 and FG of 1.026. I added a lb of lactose to a 5 gallon batch. It was too thick and sweet and I didn't much care for it. If you want to brew a bigger stout, I would recommend mashing high instead of adding lactose. Though if you fully expect to get that low a FG, you might be fine.
