I found this in my collection. Made it last year. You may want to
cut back on the peat malt. Was quite smokey, but did have a great
mouth feel. Doesn't say what the FG should be, but I recall mine was
around 1.032. I also took about a quart or two of wort and boiled it
down to a syrup for caramelization.

What was your boil volume?
What was your ending wort volume?
Did you boil for carmelization from the boil volume or from
the ending volume? I ask because I have never done this.

OK, I located my brew notes for this. I remember now, I had trouble
with getting the OG of 1.085. My notes tell me that at 90 mins., the
SG was 1.062. I boiled longer, to 2.25 hrs. to get a gravtiy of
1.074. I believe my boil vol. was about 6.5-6.75 gals., but I did not
indicate what the final vol was. I seem to recall it was short, like
around 4 gals. The .5 gal boiled for caramelization was taken from
the wort vol, boiled in a separate pan while the main wort boiled. It
was reduced to 1 pint.
I seem to recall, too, that at the time I was falling short quite
frequently on OG. Turned out I was crushing too coarse.
