I would add six to eight ounces of Special B or 120L Crystal, not chocolate malt. Looked at your recipe. I would add six to eight ounces of Special B or 120L Crystal, not chocolate malt.

I was concerned about the base malt more than the specialty grains. Here is a question for the ages, how much Choc malt is enough, but not too much? Interesting.

I don't think the dark candi sugar is enough to darken it as much as you're looking for. Those chocolate malts can also lend a nuttiness that you're aiming for. Special B is also a great grain to use for bigger Belgians and will definitely add some color and some of that Abbey beer taste. looking at the grain bill, seems like there should be some dark roasted grain in there….at least a couple ounces of chocolate.
