Hey guys so I haven't brewed a porter yet but would love to try and so I did some reading and research and have got a really drafty recipe together and would like some advice. Firstly the type of porter I'm going for is something where the coffee and chocolate notes shine through, slight roast notes also good but more about the chocolate and coffee and little bitterness (but enough to balance the beer) I don't just want a sugarbomb sweetness wise I do want balance. So heres my draft so far, the link is to the recipe on brewtoad which gives a good overview:
