Peanut Butter Cocoa Porter - First Recipe, critique welcome!

Hey all, so I know it's sort of a more complicated beer to attempt for my first custom recipe, but I just wanted to throw it out there and see how off base I am! Chances are it won't be the first custom one I attempt, but just figured I'd try my hand at it. So, without further adieu...

I think it looks good. I made a very similar porter about 6 weeks ago, with 13oz of PB2 powdered peanut butter. The recipe I used was similar to this although I didn't use any lactose. Expect some extra loss to trub in your boil, the PB2 pretty much makes a mess. I started adding it around 7min to go and finished around 3min. Don't add it all at once, it creates a lot of foam, I slowly added 13oz over 4 minutes.

Overall it came out well. The peanut butter flavor is subdued, thought that's what I was hoping for. I have it on Nitro, creates a nice silky beer with hints of PB.

Here's a pic:

Looks good. I haven't used PB2, so I can't say anything about the amounts, but everything else looks good.

Recipes like this always help me blur the lines between porters and stouts.. this one reads very much like a sweet stout, but the color and possible high attenuation of US-05, would definitely push it more toward porter.

Post an update when it's done, I'd love to hear how it came out.
