So I usually get my recipes from this site or reddit, and after 3 years of brewing, I finally started trying to make my own recipes. This is the first one I made on my own, it's a Foreign Extra Stout.
I entered it into my first beer competition in CT, got first place! My palate isn't that great, but after some age the beer has a mix of coffee/chocolate/roast/caramel flavor, with the oats providing a smooth creamy mouthfeel. I'll post what the judges tasting sheets said when I get a chance.

3.3 % - 0.50 lb Pale Chocolate Malt (250°L)
3.3 % - 0.50 Briess roast barley malt (300 °L)
