This makes a most excellent Sam Smith Style Oatmeal Stout but slightly stronger in alcohol. I've done it with London Ale 1318 but you really have to ferment at a lower temp to keep the esters out. Two pounds of oats - it can be a b*tch to sparge.

3 oz. Challenger Hop Pellets 7% AAU (3 @ 60 min).
3 oz. Fuggle Hop Pellets 4.5% AAU (1 @ 45 min, 1 @ 30 min, 1 @ 15 min).
WLP002 - White Labs English Ale Yeast.
Full Boil (If doing partial, you WILL need to increase hop amounts).
Taste - Very strong, has a nice coffee aroma, and a large mouthfeel to it. Honey IS NOT tasteable. I have NO ONE ELSE to give me a rating on this beer, as I am the only one that will drink it (Therefore, brew at your own risk). It has a fair amount of alcohol in it, so be mindful of how much you drink.
As it sounds the second incarnation of this recipe, the first is similar minus the chocolate malt. both are great recipies i suggest for anyone wanting a nice summer stout

A lovely black/red stout, personally my favorite beer to date.

Hop Bill:
1 1/2 oz Northern Brewer (45 min boil)
1/2 oz Northern Brewer (15 min boil)
Yeast: WLP004 - Irish Ale Yeast
Prime with 1 cup Maple syrup
Although I call this Benevolent Brew origional a stout it is also very close to a robust porter due to the high malt character. However, due to the well balanced astringency/bitterness provided by the black patent and nothern brewer I have settled on calling this a stout. The maple syrup gives this brew a tight and rich creamy head that complements the full mouth-feel of this ale. You may notice the somewhat irregular weights in the grain bill. These are the result of much tinkering and tasting, and after 2 batches of this version I feel its a keeper...great brew for a cold Albany winter day. Enjoy!
I brewed this up a couple of months ago. Had some during the game last night and its pretty damn good. ONly thing I am dissatified with is the color of the head...It is a light brown, but I was hoping for cream or white color.
10 gallon batch:
3 # Oatmeal
3 # maris otter
1 # chocolate malt
rested at 130 for 45 minutes (i dont' remember why i did this)
mashed at 150 for 60 minutes
sparged with 170 water
0.5 oz Centennial 7% AA 60 minutes
1 oz Cascade Whole 6% AA 30 minutes
1 oz Cascade Whole 6% AA 2 minutes
0.5 oz Centennial 7% AA 2 minutes
1 Whirlfloc tablet
2 oz Jack Daniels Oak Chips
2 pkgs Safbrew T-58
Note: This is a 3 gallon recipe
Mashed grains for 45 minutes at ~150F. Sparged at 170-175F. (my mash and sparge water volumes were from a generic formula, but I failed to write them down.) Brought to boil, added extract and continued normally. Cooled, and added 2 packages of rehydrated Safbrew T-58.
Primary: 13 days
Secondary: 6 weeks
Going into secondary I racked onto 2oz's of Jack Daniels Oak chips that had been soaking in Jack Daniels for ~30 minutes. Bottled normally, for a 3 gallon batch, with corn sugar.
OG: 1.094
FG: 1.018
ABV: ~10%
IBUs: 56.2

After 2 months in bottles, here are some tasting notes:
Jet Black, no light seeps through this stuff. Slight tan head dissapates quickly, slight carbonation.
Nose is of toffee sweetness, some vanilla that disappears quickly and slight oakiness; spicy; some hopiness. As is warms more oakiness comes through as do the hops.
Tastes of dark chocolate malty sweetness, spicy, some hops, dry, a bitter but not bad aftertaste. Medium bodied. As it warms I detect some "heat" on my tongue, but the alcohol is pretty well hidden. There are some fusel alcohols here, as my secondary temp got a bit out of control for short time.
I dont get any whiskey flavor or aroma. I did when I bottled it, but its gone. I would like to have more whiskey flavor and aroma, but in this case the hops that are detectable in the nose and flavor are very nice, and I dont think they would go well with whiskey. All-in-all a very nice Imperial stout I'd put up against Old Rasputin anyday.
Wilson, it's moved. Hogie, I agree with you somewhat that the lack of roasted barley or black malt may hurt it's chances in a contest, but it's too big for a porter. (except a Baltic porter, but it's even less of a Baltic porter than it is a stout...) if one was to brew this with an eye to contest entries, I'd consider subbing some roasted barley for some of the Carafa 3...
This is a stout that I'm going to brew this weekend (it is this or a monster IPA), just looking for some comments. BTW, I wanted a hefty chocolate note in it.
