2Row vs Maris Otter

[webguru1974]

Hello all I am going to be making a chocolate stout this weekend and had a question about Maris Otter vs 2Row in the grain built will it make a huge difference if I subbed 2Row for Maris Otter any thoughts?

MO has a nutty taste. in a stout i don't think the raw flavor will shine through but you may perceive more "malty" flavor from the MO.

Huge difference? No, but it will make some minor difference. You'll get a little more bread and malt from the MO, but I'm not sure you'll miss it a whole lot in a chocolate stout. IMO.
