So I'm a new brewer, started a few months ago and have done a couple extract kits, then some extract recipes I've tweaked, and most recently a partial mash ESB recipe I tweaked. I recently had an imperial stout for the first time and immediately was blown away, so of course now I want to make one. I've been looking through recipes and comments, trying to figure out how to create a recipe, and came up with something. Maybe I'm close, maybe I'm way off, but would love to know what experienced brewers think. Looking for a partial mash, and going for a super dark and thick recipe with lots of coffee and roasted chocolate flavor, very slightly sweet but with good bitter balance, and subtle spicy roast aromas. Here goes, and please explain any changes suggested so I can learn why.
