    Funny you should say that. This is the reason I picked this over Old Rasputin.

    I really like simple recipes. I think they typically taste better in the end. Of course its fun to do some convoluted multi-step, multi-ingredient outrageous thing every once in a while too.

    i love the creamy mouth feel you get from a bit of oats, sounds like a good addition to this big stout.

    I think the oats would take this really good recipe and push it over the top into the "great" category.... good thinking @Floresjt83

    Maybe I'll bottle this and send some samples. Of course I have no idea if it's any good since I haven't even looked at it in 8 months.
