Discussion notes:
The consensus was that the beer was cloned, but the the hop flavor was more pronounced. They believed that this would fade over time and more closely replicate Meantime Porter.
 
Hi, thanks for this recipe !

We've tried it but had a much higher OG
Perhaps my calculations were off (we wanted to brew 80 liters) but we've added 10 liters of extra water to achieve an OG of 1072

Here is my (slightly altered) recipe

(From start):
MgSO4 40 g
Acidified malt 7ebc 200 g
Palemalt 7ebc 10500 g
Munichmalt 19ebc 5250 g

Rauchmalt 7ebc 1750 g
Wheatmalt 3ebc 1000 g
Cara Crystal 125EBC 1000 g
Meladoidine 70ebc 200 g

(During final 10 minutes of 70° step)
Chocolat 800EBC 1000 g
Segafredo espressobeans 250 g
Black malt 1400 EBC 250 g

Mashing:
beta amylase 63°C 55 minutes
Decoxy step 1 (fraction of 7.6 liters boiled and re-added)
alpha amylase 70°C 40 minutes
Decoxy step 2 (fraction of 10.7 liters boiled and re-added)
denaturation 78°C 2 minutes

Hopping:
Fuggle 4,8% 75 g 90 minutes
Fuggle 4,8% 85 g 10 minutes
Fuggle 4,8% 85 g during cooling

4 sachets of Nottingham Ale Dry Yeast 11g
 
A big bump I know but just wanted to say I brewed this a few months ago using WLP007 instead of Notti and have to say it was the best non-IPA beer that I have brewed. The only other changes I made were Fawcett Caramalt for the Caracrystal and I did a single step mash at 66oC.
I will brew it again for sure soon but a bigger batch as it was gone in 6 week after bottling. I would like to see how the flavour develops over 6 months.
