Chocolate Porter - Home Brew Recipe

This is an extract version of my best of show Chocolate Porter. It is almost the same as the all-grain version, and much easier. A chocolatey version of a Robust Porter, this also does extremely well in the specialty beer category. Food Pairing Great for dessert and a lovely Fall beer. This also pairs well with beef dishes
