Who has used it?  I picked up a few pounds to use in a coffee/oat porter that I brew.  I typically just dry bean at the end for a few days but want to get a bit more coffee flavor in the beer and thought this may be the way to go.  Looking for an idea on how much to use percentage wise in a 5g batch.

I have used it a couple times. I thought it brought a very subtle coffee flavor, but I also used it at a smaller quantity. I used it in a brownish ale trying to mimic Indeed's Burr Grinder. So I didn't want it to get too dark. I would have to look back at my recipe, which is at home, and see how much I used. If I would to guess probably 1lb. for 5gal. But since you are going for a porter I don't see why you couldn't double or triple that.

I've used it....I don't know if I'd call it exactly a coffee flavor, but something like that.  A friend accidentally used 10 lb. of it once and produced a beer that tasted like weird marshmallows.

For a minute I thought that said weird mushrooms

I haven't used it but it stands to reason that it might share some qualities with pale chocolate based on the ºL.
