Imperial Porter/Stout/Brown Ale

Tonight, I am planning to brew a 2.5 gallon batch of a dark beer. I have no idea what category it would fit into because it basically is sitting in no man's land somewhere in-between a stout, porter and brown ale. I guess I will have to wait until I am able to drink it to determine once and for all what category of beer it would fall into (it is designed to be a Foreign Export Stout based on BJCP style guidelines, but I don't use roasted barley).

5.00 lbs. Marris Otter 2-Row
0.50 lbs. Flaked Barley
0.50 lbs. Carafa II
0.50 lbs. Caramel 40

.6 oz of US Northern Brewer hops @ 60 minutes

Expected OG: 1.069
Expected FG: 1.018
Expected ABV: 6.7%
IBU's: ~38
SRM: 34
