This is my first time posting, I have been reading this forum for the last 6 months. I have only brewed one other RIS it was a Bourbon County Stout Clone I have aging on bourbon soaked, medium plus toast French oak cubes. Just looking for feedback on this busy RIS grain bill. I am aiming for a stout with a HUGE malt flavor, hopefully with some biscuit and chocolate character.

Also I was planning on trying a parti gyle small porter afterwards by adding more specialty grains in the second runnings. Looking for any recomendations for grains to add so my porter isnt too thin. I was thinking some more caramel and chocolate malts, possibly roast barley
