Or you could, if you aren't already, just reduce hop bittering* to make space for the natural bitterness from the roasted grains, instead of adding bitterness onto bitterness. Keeping your grist as intended.
*Or, use a smoother bittering hop, or switch to First Wort hopping.
My uber dark quad/impy's use little or no hops at all.
