Collaboration: Robust Porter

We collaborated with Doug Penn over in Alexandria and created a beer using whatever grains he had available (which were quite a lot). We planned for a Robust Porter using Jamil's Black Widow Porter from Brewing Classic Styles, but changed it up slightly based on what we actually had available to us.
