Planning a dark ale. Salted Caramel... HELP!

[brzt6060]

Hi guys I’m planning on trying something a little different for my next brew. I’m thinking of doing a salted caramel dark ale but I have no idea where to start?

Have I lost my mind after a 14 hour night shift and 4 beers or is it do-able?

I'm drawing a bit of inspiration from these two beers...

and

Interested to see how this turns out mate, The Dark Penance is a tasty number, good luck .

Start with the grist and additions for those 2:

Rogue:
2-Row, Munich, C120, Chocolate, Black - Kiln Coffee & Rogue Farms Dare™ and Risk™ Malts; Pretzels, Raspberry Extract, Chocolate,

Founders:
Prob similar base plus caramel and choc malts

Not sure about the salted bit though
