That'll work.
My favorite hop is goldings, but fuggles go very well with porter.
I'm just here for the beer.

The use of black malt is tricky, it doesn't take too much to cross the line and end up with a burnt taste in the brew, I think that you can get the appropriate colour from using chocolate malt by its self.
