If you're going for a brown porter base style then, no need for black patent, but if you are leaning toward robust style, then yes.
That recipe is a huge percentage of smoked malt. Are you sure you want it that heavily smoked?

Well I went by the guidlines as far as color, OG , and IBU's... For the Robust Porter.. Using Rauch Malt as around 50% of my grain bill.. Just wondering if I do enter this if they are going to expect to taste that roast coffee flavor?

I assume you mean "they" are competition judges...if you're shooting for a robust porter, then yes I would expect some roasty black patent (not roasted barley) notes. I think 50% Rauch is going to be overpowering, and 20-25% is more in line. Check out this recipe for JZ Smoked Porter... |

There's three pounds of that smoked malt in that recipe, but thats more than likely smoked with peat being a 9 lovibond.. Rauch malt that I'm using is smoked with beechwood at a 3 lovibond .. Rauch is sometimes used as 90-100% of the grain bill, being smokey as all can be, it's still smoother than a beer with 50% Smoked malt (peat smoked malt). So i think i should be alright on the smoke.. I am looking for a smoked robust porter that Showcases a smooth smoke, slight chocolate, and if it has to a VERY slight roasty coffee.. So i'm thinking 2 ounce of black patent.. ? thoughts ?

Actually JZ's recipe uses the beechwood smoked rauch malt. He specifically recommends never using peat smoked malt or smoke flavoring.
Re: black patent - sure, a few ounces will help bring out a slight roast. Hope it turns out the way you like!

I've brewed ohio brewtus' edmund fitzgerald clone, substituting 100% of the base malt for smoke malt. It's a smoky, solid beer. Don't be afraid of the smoke malt if thats a flavor you like in beer
