I'm having some trouble classifying my beer. It was a moose drool brown which is a reindeer slobber clone I believe but I decided I wanted a more chocolatey beer so I added about 2 oz of chocolate malt and some chocolate chips to the mash. Probably only about 10-20 chips.
My question. This seems really dark to be classified as a brown ale. It tastes super roasty and with coffee and dark chocolate notes. My question is should I tell people this is a porter, brown ale, or maybe even a stout. I am leaning more towards the porter bc there is not a ton of hop bitterness, but is a distinct chocolate flavor.
