just got first place in the homebrew alley for my robust porter!

a lot of it definitely thanks to the knowledge i've gleamed from this forum!
 
ahha great question!

i dont' have it with me at work, but was around:
maris otter: 75%
amber malt: 10%
brown malt: 10%
chocolate malt: 4%
and a very, very small amount of black patent (like 1% ish)

fuggles for bittering and a small amount of aroma (probably 5 or so aaus at 60, and then 5 or so aaus at 15)

white labs east coast ale (re-used the cake from a pale ale i had done)

primary for two weeks at 64-66 deg F, transferred to a keg and carbed for 1 1/2 weeks to achieve about 2 vols co2

about 6.5% abv ish, final gravity was 1.012 or 1.016.
 
Congrats.

How long have you been at it?

What batch number was this?

Congrats again!
