Thank you for the advice.
I will post the recipe when I've made a final decision which to brew. I've found a few to choose from but have brewed a witbier recipe from an unknown source and had a final product with too much spice in the flavor profile, so I'm reluctant as to which recipe to use, depending on where I found it.
I'm pretty green regarding the Imperial Stouts. I plan to use oatmeal and saw a recipe posted in this forum recently that appeals to me but I plan to run it through a recipe program for further evaluation:
