Brilliantly I've manged to screw up a recipe that has 2 malts and 1 hop.
It was supposed to be a mosaic pale ale using 5.2kg of pale and 100g dark crystal but I picked up black crystal instead!
Any idea what beer style this will give me as I no longer know what to call it...
It's much darker than it should be, like a Mild or even a porter.
 
That's such a small amount that it shouldn't be drastically different other than the color. Crystal will impart a bit of sweetness whereas black will impart more of a coffee roastiness. Again, with a small amount like that, I'd just go with it and I'm sure you'll have a fine beer!
 
I did a stout couple years ago and pitched WB-06 what beer yeast. Thought I had S-04 but was mistaken. Actually turned out pretty nice. Kind of a unique flavor.
 
Don’t worry about it. You’ve invented a new beer. Might be wonderful, might be different. It will still be beer.
