I’ve been thinking about your question on the best BJCP category for your strong, dark, not too roasty ale.  It may compete well as an Old Ale.  That category is more open to interpretation than most.

Maybe Malty McMalt Mouth?

Very interesting. Looked just now at the guidelines, and it mostly fits, while pushing the SRM and ABV a bit outside the envelope.
They do say there is overlap into the Barleywine and British Strong Ale beers.
