I added the chocolate malt because I had it lying around, which put it over the top on the color guidelines, but I'm not concerned. I'm brewing it as I type, I'll let you know how it turns out in a few weeks.

..and this beer is good. definitely brewing this again. I keep it in the cellar and only refrigerate as needed, so its had some time to condition. As of now, this is incredibly smooth with a pronounced chocolate/coffee taste, but not overpowering (it still tastes like a stout, not starbucks).
