Chocolate porter - 1st attempt

[J_Thadeus_Toad]

I think I may have originally posted this in the wrong forum. I'm currently working on my 1st attempt at a chocolate porter. I was just at a beer fest here in Michigan and had a few I really liked. So I figured I would give it a shot.

Here is where I am at. And help or guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you
