Does "Roastiness" Mellow Over Time?

[Mainer28]

My dry stout called for about 1 pound of roasted barley (1.046 OG). The beer is extremely young, but is fermented out at about (1.010). My first impression is that its burnt/smoky tasting from the malt. Will this mellow out some over the next month with some aging?

Thanks all,

It will mellow. May take longer than a month. I guess you will think twice before using so much next time.

yeah, may be a while that is the most ive seen used from digging through recipes. Where did you get that?

It came from a well received recipe on this site. It was a tad under 10% of the grain bill.
