Hopefully the chocolate with give nice roast background, but my imperial porter use 700g or so of chocolate malt

I keep thinking about making a nice dark porter - I never seem to get round to it though. Hope this one turns out well.

Looks good... I like the idea of Special B, reminds me of Anchor porter. Not sure if they use it but it tastes like it. Nice toffee/raisin flavour going on.
