Bottled today w/ 2.7oz. cane sugar. Flavor was right on the money. Body was just a tad thin compared to original but not by much. I had mashed at a temp. of 154* so maybe a mash temp. of 145 or 148 would have given a heavier body. Or more oats. Anyway it's very close compared side by side.

I wouldn't change a thing. Creamy head and the mouthfeel is just right. The flavor I think is better than the original with a touch of oak, coffee and a hint of chocolate. This will definitely be a regular brew. A great one to start off a session with.

Just brewed another batch for this season. Have made a few tweeks to the original recipe. Just gets better.
