How to make a blueberry stout taste like cobbler

[Manholebrewhause]

Ok, so my wife has tasked me with making a blueberry stout for her birthday party, but wants it to taste like cobbler. I already make a blueberry stout, here's the recipe:
6.6lb light LME
8oz roasted malt
4oz black malt
4oz chocolate malt
1oz northern brewer
S-04
Blueberry cake flavoring at kegging

Any ideas on how to give it a more "cobbler taste and mouthfeel? A few fellow members of my homebrew club say to add a lb of biscuit, kolsch, or honey malt. Wanted to post here to get some solid ideas! Thanks!

Cut the roast malt (you dont want it to taste too burnt), and sub 8oz biscuit. If Munich LME is available, sub half of the Light LME for Munich LME.

Honey malt doesnt really taste like youd expect given the name. Its a domestic version of melanoiden malt. Using Munich LME would be a better idea.
Id add 8oz of 60L-80L crystal as well for residual sweet toffee/dark fruit flavor.

May I ask what blueberry cake flavoring you use?

LorAnn cake oil. Blueberry. 1 dram.

Agreed with this. Cut the roast. Add biscuit. The biscuit makes sense and will compliment the blueberry more in the beer....I'm guessing in the finish it will be very noticeable.

So if I omit the roasted malt, sub in biscuit malt, and add in Munich lme, wouldn't that kill the SRM? Should I increase the black and chocolate malts to 8 oz each?

I would use a pinch of debittered black malt or increase the chocolate malt. I like to use pale chocolate malt in brown ale.

Only a bit if you add in 80L crystal. You could use carafa3 to adjust the color, but while I havent run the numbers, Im pretty sure you are still in porter color at least.
