What Have I made

[barney]

Good Evening, A bit of help needed here.

Last night put a brew on and decided on a bitter, wanted something a bit more tasty so decided to add a few bits to the bill.

When I finished the mash out I knew it would not be a bitter as it was Guinness coloured. I plowed on relentlessly and today in the FV it smells lovely, almost like a freshly opened can of treacle. what the bloody hell have I made? is it a stout a porter or a mild?

golden promise 4.5k
amber malt 0.2k
chocolate malt 0.2k
crystal 0.2k
munich malt 0.2k
wheat malt 0.2k

hops were as follows

First gold 10g 90
challenger 25g 60
fuggles 18g 60
EKG 15g 10
EKG 20g flame out

I know I have over complicated it a bit but is what I have made, whatever it is, going to be drinkable?

My vote is stout

I vote for porter. The main difference between a stout and a porter is the presence of roasted barley in a stout. You may actually be in luck. I my humble opinion, good porter has the roast flavors from the chocolate malts plus the caramel sweetness from the crystal. To your credit, you threw some amber malt in there which I think really adds a lot to a porter (try some Fuller's London Porter some time, it's there and you can taste it). The Munich malt you added will make the beer just a bit more malty and the wheat will probably just get lost in the mix. Happy drinking.
