(Also posted in Brewing Ingredients...should have put here...)

Flying Dog makes an Imperial Porter and I swear I taste cirtrusy hops it it. This leads me to considering the fact that I have Cascades and want to brew a Robust Porter.

Thoughts on hops in Porter? How would it surivive some West Coast hop varieties ya think?

Thanks....good to see the hop bill. I missed it on the site, but e-mailed the Brewer...also good to see I DO taste Cascade. I think I have it covered with a sub of Magnum for Warrior and push JZ's Robust Porter up in percentage to target the OG.
