Already got your OG? Isn't it a little late for critique if you already brewed it? With all that malt and 3 pounds of extract, what's your efficiency, 45%??

Personally, I do not like mashing that high, don't like 2 pounds of chocolate malt (pale chocolate would be fine) and don't like 1056. What's the AA on that willamette, this beer might be underhopped. Just my 2 cents.

What is the volume in the fermentor? Your recipe could be good, but need volume.

edit - what was your intention for the chocolate malt; color, flavor?

 

[venomfast]

Chocolate malt was for flavor and was my first all grain batch so had poor efficiency what temp would you mashed it at volume of fermentor is 7 gallons

 

[flars]

I would mash at 152°F to 154°F for a stout. A lower temperature mash may give the stout to thin of a mouth feel. Efficiency would get up to about 65% to 70% also.
