Just still trying to figure out what works well together, seeing what people with more experience have to say about the recipe i basically made up lol

Just looking for like: damn those two malts together will contradict each other, or those two malts should taste great.

Idk

Looks alright, though usually you'd use some roasted barley instead of the black patent. I always have thought of black patent for porters, roasted barley for stouts. The rest looks good, you could up the oats to 1.5 lbs if you want it really silkey.

If you don't have the roasted barley and you don't want to get it I'm sure it will be fine, the chocolate will give it some roast flavor.

Edit: I found that my oatmeal stouts needed to age a few (3-5) months to get really good.

+1 on the BP vs Roasted Barley. Stout = Roasted barley; Porter = Black Patent.

Omit the flavor/aroma hops additions. Let the bitter flavors come from roasted grains.

Increase the proportion of oats. I'd double the size and toast a pound of the flakes in the oven and let 'em mellow overnight.

Those are good points. You can put the roasted oats in a brown paper bag overnight or for a week etc.
