cherry almond Porter/Stout feedback!

[Electrake]

I wanted to share this recipe I sort of pieced together for a little critique. It's been in the fermenter nearly 2 weeks, and the beastly london ale yeast chewed through what appears to be damn near all the fermentables... I missed the numbers I was shooting for, but this is still turning out to be one big beer.

Also, at the actual 2 week mark I intend to introduce 24oz of almonds I've had soaking in bourbon for 2 weeks. Later down the road at an unspecified time, I will be adding the cherry puree.

How did this turn out? And how'd you go about adding the cherry puree and almonds?

 

[Electrake]

Puree was added directly to secondary, the almonds had soaked in bourbon for a week, and that was added to secondary as well for two weeks.

Over all, I really didn't like this beer at first... I still have a 6 pack left, and it is probably the beer my friends have liked the most.

Also, due to a stuck sparge this came out to around 14% lol... all in all I would do it again, however I wouldn't touch it for months after bottling
