Any input will be appreciated.... this will be a pumpkin imperial stout that the 2nd half will be partigyled into a pumpkin stout. Hows it look? Looking for a slight flavor of chocolate (sort of like TREAT), some dark flavor but not a sharp coffee/burnt taste more like a pie crusty flavor.

Also: too much lacto in the mini stout? dont want too much sweet that its like a milk stout.
