First Porter - Ordered Wrong Ingredient

[Ale to the Chief]

I am going to be making my first porter but mistakenly ordered a wrong ingredient for it. Instead of the simpsons crystal, I got 1lb of caramunich malt.

In what way will this change the beer I was trying brew? (color/taste/etc)
Anyone ever used caramunich malt in a porter?

Grain Bill
8.5 lbs. Rahr 2-Row Pale
1 lbs. Simpsons Crystal
0.5 lbs. Simpson's Chocolate

With 1/2 of chocolate, you probably won't notice the color change. You will notice the lack of caramel, but many porter recipes use Munich (although not that much). You'll have a dark, malty beer.

Thanks for the responses. What flavor characteristics would caramel contribute vs caramunich?
