The only thing I might do different is cut down the OG a bit. It's sure not a session beer. However, it is very good and I give it a thumbs up.
Great!

Dark, not sweet, not bitter, but plenty of taste. I can taste the molasses and the coffee. You'd have to try it to appreciate it. Oh, it packs a punch too.
But kicking strong. Yet great Porter flavour.

This and my pm oatmeal stout pushed the limits. Both very good. Yet high alcohol. Didn't take good notes, so not sure of %.
