Hello all

Threw some porter-ish stuff in the pot last weekend, nice color in carboy, coming around nicely. But, what is it? Descriptions for both brown ale and porter have some similarities, at least to me.

Here is what I made:
5 gallons

5 lbs light DME
1 lb amber DME
3 oz black patent
2 oz midnight wheat
5 oz choc 320
4 oz crystal 45

1 cup molasses last 15 min
1 lb honey last 15 min

1/2 oz galena 60 minute
1/2 oz galena last 15 min

pitch US05

OG not measured

does that much bp push it to a porter?

I'd say the black patent plus the chocolate with the color of the Midnight Wheat should be enough color/roasty flavor to jump the line to a porter.
