But still keep the citra as it is along the rest of brew but bitter with Simcoe instead.

What are you doing with the 0 mins hops? Steep, or are they dry hops?
Again, I'd leave the Citra out, personally, and do something else with it. Simcoe will cut through the malt, and Amarillo will provide a nice fruity roundness on top. I like Citra in pale beers and I'm less sure in maltier, darker beers. But that's just me, and I'm undecided really. It might be a masterstroke, so take no notice of me. It certainly won't ruin it!

Clibit ive never used Munich Malt before excuse me what does it bring to the table so to speak ?
Munich is a rich malty grain. It will increase the maltiness of the beer basically. Add to the richness. You can overdo it. But 9% is fine, 10% is a common amount. Alongside 9% crystal you are giving the beer a malty sweetness - but then contrasting that with a lot of hops. So it wil be a rich, malty beer with piney Simcoe hops and fruity Amarillo hops. The Citra will accentuate the more yellow kind of citrus flavour, and add to the aroma. I think the Amarillo and Simcoe are enough, but I wouldn't put anyone off trying the three way combo.

I was going to drop to 80 then lob them all I for 15 months. Cooling down to pitching temp. So would crystal be on or should I do caramalt again. If didn't have caramalt on beersmith so chose that instead.

I am not much of a porter or a stout drinker but I fancy giving them a go probably later on in the year!

What I need is a good honest bitter! And lots of it!
