I am planning to brew this on Saturday - 10 gallon batch to rack to my newly acquired 10G Rum Barrel! The grain bill is a mix of porter and barleywine styles, pulling from various sources. I am not going for a full Imperial Stout mouthfeel but want something with enough body and residual sweetness to handle drying out for a few months in the barrel and stand up to the smokey malt, peppers and other additions in secondary. Also I am shooting for my first 12% beer so efficiency will be key. Note the extra 3# of DME and Cascade Chipotle beer candi as well. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
