I have a fairly complex grist bill for an Imperial Porter and wonder if there would be any benefit (to taste) by using Maris Otter instead of Pale Malt (2 Row).
Agreed with Bdawg on this one. But a nice alternative (a kind of in the middle malt between MO and regular American 2 row) to consider is Golden Promise. It is a bit cleaner than MO, but fuller tasting than plain old american 2 row.
