Originally had 5 days start to finish, too many things went wrong for that to happen. Ended up cask conditioning and serving on hand pump at the Carrboro World Homebrew Festival 2010.

Wanted all maris otter, stuck with what the brewshop had.

* 1.022@140F@6gal post-sparge/pre-boil (~1.034@6gal)
* Didn't use porter yeast made starter to wash porter yeast (sulfur, meaty smell, sitting on dark beer) but didn't start up fast enough for my liking.
* Pitched liquid vial of yeast directly, very slow start to fermentation
