Going to try and put down another brew on the new system this weekend and as the weather is starting to cool down I want to try a Robust Porter style. I have no idea about darker malts though so am flying blind. I have looked over a bunch of other Porter recipes and have tried to put together a recipe loosely based on others and using what grains I have available from my LHBS(mainly Joe White/Maltcraft).
I would appreciate anyone commenting on this. I realise porters are all about balancing malts but as I have no experience with darker malts I am flying blind at the moment.

The Warrior and Motueka are because I have them on hand. I think the Warrior should be fine for bittering, what do you think about a bit of late B-Saaz in a robust porter?
