Been tooling around with a Robust Porter for my dad's birthday and I'm looking for some feedback. Shooting for OG of ~1.60 & ~30 IBUs. I've read a bunch of thoughts about adding cocoa/vanilla/porter, but nothing about adding all three--is this too much? Should I change the amounts so nothing is overpowering the other?
