So I'm looking to have a nice deep beer for my birthday next year (Feb 15th) and decided on a high gravity stout. Looking for a little feedback. Based this on some of the Dark Lord Discussions, but wanted something that finished out a little lower in gravity and had more alcohol warmth. I think the 6+ months that it could age would make for a tasty birthday brew.
I'm thinking of brewing this on Sunday.
