With Caramalt or without?

[Pietrach]

Hi I am planning on doing a dark ale 50% maris otter and 50% Munich. All with Marynka hops and safale s04 yeast.I want this to be rather malty grainy beer with good mouth feel. Do you think adding some Caramalt would help, or it is too similar to Munich malt? Also do you think that late hop additions and resulting hop aroma will feel out of place in such beer?
Thanks.

I think adding some caramunich could accent the maltiness and balance a late hop addition nicely. If you feel the aroma is too strong then you can age it a few months and it will lessen considerably. Personally I enjoy hop aroma in malt forward beers as I feel it lends complexity.
