To me everything is pointing to low quantities of malts.
Just run it through beer smith with 58grm and 38grms for the extra malts and it works out brown with an OG of 1.066

I think you missed the fact it says 0.58KG not Grams your malts should of been ten times larger :shock:
you've now got a very bitter bitter not a stout.
 
Don't pour it away, you'll still end up with a nice beer, just not what you wanted.
 
Taz,you've just chucked a load of decent IPA down the pan,why not just ferment it anyway,you can always chuck it later if you don't like it.Stupid boy!

If this is indeed what happened I can understand it as when I first used BeerSmith2 it confused me as well. You can remedy this by changing the decimal place to 3 figures. Being American they don't bother with metric so the defaults in the program are 2 places.
