How could I not make a beer called chocolate hazelnut porter? From the Brewing Classic Styles:

Grain Bill:

    1.5 lbs Munich (6-10°L)
    1 lb Crystal Light (40°L)
    1 lb Crystal Medium (75°L)
    0.75 lb Chocolate Malt (450-500°L)
    0.5 lb Black Malt [black patent] (500-600°L)

Hops:

2 oz East Kent Goldings (3.4%)
2 oz Willamette (4.7%)

Yeast:

3 1/2 hours last night after work and I was done in time to watch some TV with Amber. I enjoyed some homebrew witbier during the boil.
