Just got done wet toasting some rolled oats and it looks like crunchy granola and smells like burnt popcorn. Color is 40-50L, still a little light for my stout I think.

Am I on the right track?
 
Yeah I should be more clear. Doesn't look burnt, color is pretty even from stirring every 15 minutes or so. The smell to me is burnt popcorn but I don't think the color is burnt and the taste is a heavy toast.
 
Oh, okay. If it's just in the aroma and not the flavor, then maybe consider letting the toasted grains mellow for a few days before using. Optional. Should turn out fine either way if it tastes alright.
