I want to brew a toasted oat pale ale. I came up with two versions (below), an english/scottish themed version and an american version. Any comments, suggestions or criticisms would be helpful. For example, I have no first hand experience with special B or Honey Malt, but from what I've read, they might add something here. what say you?
