I opened one of my oatmeal stouts a few weeks back and it was well carbonated and all that but not a great tasting brew to me. opened one tonight and DAMN what difference a few weeks in the bottle can make. smooth and full bodied....definitely one I will brew again.
The difference time can make

Was it your original recipe? If not, do you have a link? I'm thinking about making an oatmeal stout for in June or July so it will be prime in late fall/early winter.
Congrats on the successful brew. Giving your beer more time--60% of the time it works every time
