Thanks for the feedback. I'm looking to keep the gravity down a bit on this one and don't want to make a 120/-. I was talking with a friend about this earlier today and it seems like we may be doing a split batch and the recipe has changed a bit (somewhat in the direction you mentioned). 15.00 Pale Malt 7.00 Munich 2.00 Carapils 1.00 Honey Malt .25 Carafe .75 Choc Wheat 2.00 Brown Sugar or Treacle 1.00 ozs Magnum - 60 mins 2.00 ozs Goldings, East Kent - 20 mins 1.50 ozs Heather Tips - flameoutLooks like the its on the smaller end of the Strong Scotch Ale category, to me. I would ditch the late Mt. Hood addition, only use RB or Chocolate (no need for three highly roasted grains there), consider adding some Carastan or CaraVienne malt and possibly a pound or two of dark brown sugar. IBUs look fine. Oh, and mash at 155dF...

I'm not familiar with the 90/-, should it just be a higher gravity 80/-? My 80/- is golden promise for the base and then crystal and a touch of roasted barley. Throw in some EKGs and use a scottish ale yeast.Thanks for the feedback. I'm looking to keep the gravity down a bit on this one and don't want to make a 120/-.

I was thinking this and didn't post. I also never heard of a 90/- and my 80/- is the same simple grain bill and EKG bittering hops. I thought the magic of the scottish ale was letting the yeast do its work and adding that hint of smoke. I just tapped my first of 2 80/- that I brewed in December. This is my go to malty beer when I take a break from IPAsI'm not familiar with the 90/-, should it just be a higher gravity 80/-?

I have one that is conditioning right now that I boiled down some of the wort separately to make it extra malty. I'm really excited for when that beer goes on tap.I was thinking this and didn't post.
