Trail Ride Porter - Extract

Hello everyone. I'm looking to make my first porter and I put together this recipe. Any input on how you think it will turn out would be great. Partial mash with the chocolate, caramel, and biscuit malts. I was thinking of going with a full pound of honey instead of the half pound.

8.0 oz Chocolate (Briess) (350.0 SRM) Grain 2 5.9 %

6 lbs DME Golden Light (Briess) (4.0 SRM) Dry Extract 4 70.6 %

Well I am a new brewer so I am Clueless. Did you brew it?

Not yet. Going to brew it next weekend. Talked to my guy at the LHBS and he thinks it looks good. Suggested maybe a darker crystal malt or using molasses instead of honey to get the beer darker. I think I'll keep it as is but instead of adding the honey at 2minutes I will add it once the wort is off heat and is around 160 degrees and let it settle in that way.
