Still green, but getting better every week

Bitterness a bit more pronounced than calculated. The black patent is very pronounced turning this into more of stout than a porter. It's a deep ruby color and I think that with age it will improve. Bottled with a little less than a cup of light dry extract, took four weeks to even come close to carbonating.

A little yeasty

Very pleasant and easy to drink, could have done without the Perle hops. The vanilla is subtle and smooths the finish. Variations in the fermentation temps caused yeasty flavors. The over-use of black patent also gives a chalky and somewhat medicinal flavor. Not my best effort, but drinkable.
