What do people think of this beer am going to replace 2kg of pale malt for extract and want to add some vanilla

I'd leave out the hop aroma addition tbh, with that much in the way of flavourings you're looking at a complicated flavour and i'd rather the coffee, choc and spices come through...

just me though, looks great.

Isn't it a bit late in the year to be brewing something with that high an OG for this christmas? That'll be sublime by next year though, I'm sure

Just call it an Easter beer, like the Danish Påske Øl. That buys you some extra conditioning time
