Any thoughts? Planning to brew this on Saturday and think I'm close to the final recipe. Not trying to nail a style but thought it would be closest to an imperial porter.
A couple of questions. What water should I use? Planning on something close to Black Malty.
Also, is 50 IBUs about right for a beer like this? Just looking to balance out the sweetness a bit.
10.5# Golden Promise
3# Weyermann Munich II
3# Extra Light DME (purely to boost OG due to lack of mash tun space)
1.5# Brown Malt 65L
10 oz Chocolate Malt 450L
10 oz Carafa III Special
8 oz Caramunich III
OG ~1.093
Bitter to 50 IBUs with something high alpha on hand (Magnum, Bravo, Nugget)
2 packets of Nottingham
adjuncts: cinnamon, cocoa nibs, vanilla
