Kernel Export India Porter using the last mystery yeast pack I got from MM which is HBC431. This has been on my recipe list for a while so had to be attempted sometime. Currently I have significant doubts about being too strong in the roast flavour. Been a while since I made any porter so maybe it will change during fermentation.

A Belgian Dark Strong Ale
It started out with the idea of doing a Chimay Blue clone.
I found a few recipes online, read Brew Like a Monk and then tweaked it.
It's about half way through the boil at the moment and should be ready to drink this time next year
