Brewed this in June, bottled in September. Took my first taste yesterday - WOW. This is at least as good as any commercial wee heavy I've ever had. Thanks for the recipe.

I'm working up peated Scottish (i.e. ~6% ABV) ale recipe, and liked what you did here. I also have the caramel 120, peated malt, and flaked oat. But two questions about your recipe.
1) I've never brewed with Carastan before - what contribution were you looking for with this as compared to British crystal?
2) I'm still dialing in my oaking techniques, and I would assume that 3 months on oak would draw a lot of tanic properties from the chips. Did you sense that, or does the peat hide it? Or did the Scotch soaking eliminate those properties?

Cheers!
