Mocha Porter - Extract - How's this look?

[thatjoshguy]

So This is my first attempt at formulating a recipe. I based this on several others I've seen/tasted. Looking for input of course. I want the chocolate/coffee element to be the spotlight of this brew. I want there to be no doubt that this is indeed a Mocha beer
