A couple of hints though. Add irish moss, cocoa, and pb at 15min left. I have done some mocha porters and the irish moss seems to absorb some of the oils from the cocoa. No problems with the head. Maybe 1 tsp of moss to get the peanut oils too. Cocoa is very bitter, with all those hops you are going to have a 70 IBU porter. I have used 1oz (by weight) of cocoa and the taste was overwhelming, I would suggest 2oz, otherwise the whole thing is going to be kind of muddy. Interesing peanut butter/cocoa recipe.
