Big thanks to mckay75 and Woody for helping me get this beer ready and down to y'all in time. I brewed it in mid October then found myself in the middle of a family emergency. I asked if they could take care of it for me, and without hesitation they took over. I actually still haven't tried it (or any of the advent beers for that matter). Mark says it's tasty so that's all I was hoping for. I used the same recipe and got a silver in this year's brewnosers comp for porters. Hope it turned out as well. I don't have all my numbers with me but here's what I managed to come up with:
21L batch
4.2 kg Marris Otter
500 g Brown malt
500 g C60
350 g Chocolate malt
Full volume mash at 152f for 4 hours, cause that's how I roll.
60 min boil
63 g Fuggles (4.1%) @ 60 min
16 g Fuggles (4.1%) @ 10 min
WLP013 London Ale
Primary 14 days @ 19C, then force carbed in keg and bottled with beer gun.
OG 1.051
FG 1.013
ABV ~ 5%
IBU 33

Impressed you stuck with the advent. This Porter is signature Pete. Love the malt profile and english yeast flavour. Your a hell of a brewer my friend. Oh and Michele loved it as well.

I quite enjoyed this. When I first tasted it cold, it presented more as a stout, with the roasty flavors most prominent. But as it warmed it got creamier. Thanks much.

Deep dark brown. No head retention but fairly carbed. Smells like a good porter. Smooth roasted malt flavours. Touch of sweetness. A solid and tasty porter. I'd gladly have another if I had one on hand. Thanks for the brew!

Somehow forgot to drink this one. Nice beer, not at all harsh. Thanks.
