Hello -
I'm set to begin my first ever brew of any beer - hopefully this weekend - it will be the Chocolate Maple Porter mix from Brooklyn Brew Shop:

My purpose with starting this thread is to ask anyone who has made this recipe to post any tips or advice specific to this recipe. As I understand it, the Chocolate Maple Porter is also in BBS's recipe book, so any experiences from those who have used that source would be appreciated as well.
I've never had a beer like this, so any advice as to what to expect from a porter (and a "chocolate" one at that) would be appreciated. I do know that it uses Fuggle hops, crushed, roasted barley and of course maple syrup as a sweetener.
Thanks in advance -
Ron
