I made this and everyone really enjoys it so far. I was thinking that it would turn out a stout color, but did not. Nice brown color. Did not turn out very high on the alcohol... which might be good for your situation. The chocolate just gets hinted to.. you swallow and wait a sec and lip your lips and the chocolate comes out real nice.

My notes put the OG at 1.055 and for some reason the FG was 1.032. I steeped the Oats along with the specialty grain which was the reason why I thought I had such high FG (I thought I read somewhere after that your supposed to cook them first). Another thing that happened is I forgot to strain the hops and they all got dumped in the fermentor. Real nice hop taste came out in this one.
Here is a thread of it... you can definatly see its not stout color.
