The brewery's beer page names Willamette hops, chocolate malt and other roasted malts. The Untappd description, written in the brewery's voice, adds that the beer is "dosed up with wheat malt to give it a smooth, subtle breadiness and extra body" (Untappd). No yeast is named.
As category context only, the Brewers Association guidelines read for this profile list porters and stouts as separate styles; Robust Porter calls for a very dark beer with cocoa and caramel sweetness balanced by dark malt bitterness, 5.1 to 6.6 percent ABV and 25 to 40 IBU. The published 6.6% ABV and 25 IBU sit at the edges of that range.
