Pig Hole Robust Porter
This recipe has it's roots in Denny's BVIP. Contrary to Denny's life motto ("Life begins at 60, 1.060 that is"), this version has been scaled down to fit into the BJCP Robust Porter category (along with losing the Bourbon and the Vanilla). Must have done something right with the scaledown as judges comments include "perfect balance" and "Don't touch the amount of dark malt you use. It's the perfect amount".
