Dark chocolate and rich coffee notes. Smooth aftertaste left me licking my teeth. I brewed exactly as posted. SWMBO loves this and it will be a regular in the pipeline. THANK YOU YOOPER!!

Brewed 10 gallons last Sunday. We came in just short of the targeted OG at 1.048. I also added 2 oz cocoa powder and 2 oz ground coffee to one of the carboys to make it more of a breakfast stout. Both versions smelled amazing and I can't wait to try this!

Hey Yooper! I picked up the ingredients for this yesterday, its going to be my second batch ever! First one is a hefe that only been in the fermenter for a week. I hope to do homage to what everyone else says is an outstanding recipe!

Sampled mine the other day, almost perfectly carbed, holy moly!! My only (1st world) problem is that I like my pale ales a bit colder than I like my stouts, so have my kegs at the aforementioned preferred temp, and have to let it sit out a bit, or maybe I should find some compromise temperature..

Sampled today after a week in primary, Yooper you are a genius! Still planning on another 2 in primary but this is awesome!

Mashing now. My first BIAB brew, and it smells wonderful. Might have to call mine Iggy Oatmeal Stout since the Penguins got Iginla today!

Besides these, I have three other batches on hand...but everyone raves about this oatmeal stout. I may have to make it my next batch. I did the Samuel Smith Oatmeal Clone and wait for the bottles to age. Hmmm...and my pics loading upside down is driving me nuts.

I brews this up 10 days ago. O.G. Was 1.059 checked today it's at 1.022. Seems a little high. Does oats or barley leave alot of unfermentables? I used S-04 and usually get 75% attenuation. It's only 62% now.

Oats don't leave a lot of unfermentables but darker crystal malts often do. I often get 1.018-1.020 with this recipe and a higher mash temperature.
