Hey Ryan! That was my blonde stout at Homebrew for Hunger. Your recipe is really close to mine. The only 3 biggest differences were 1) I didn’t use vanilla beans, and 2) I used 7% smoked malt (to again create a more complex “roasty” type flavor) along with coffee & nibs, and 3) I used 7% lactose plus twice as much flaked barley to again add even more to the creamy stout like body.
