Notes

I call this a "Dark Porter" because, yes, it's clearly darker than the typical porter color range.
Including the desired Black Malt in the grainbill while also including the flavors of the Dark DME easily made this beer significantly darker.

Extra hops add some additional IBUs to the brew because I thought it'd be fun. It's still in the fermenter, but I'll update how it turns out when it's ready to drink.
