Discussion
I did a mini mash version of this recipe...
2007-12-18 7:40pm
with some minor changes. I replaced the 9.5# of English 2-row Pale for 7.02# of John Bull's Amber LME. I dont know why i bought the Amber instead of the Light LME. To convert American Victory and Oats i mashed separate with 2 pounds of 2-row. and steep the rest of the grains in another pot. put both worts together and added LME and 1 oz of hops @ 60 and 1 oz @ 35 mins. Also used US-05 Dry yeast. This was brewed on 12.1.2007 Adding another comment in regards fermentation
Fermented at 60*....

In primary for 7 days. Transfer to secondary on 12.8.2007. I tried it and tasted fenomenal!. Tasted smooth & a perfect balance of chocolate, malt, roasted coffee flavors. Then they all start to fade away, roasted coffee flavor seems to hold longer; you cannot notice it unless you pay close attention. Follow by a very pleasant bitterness from the hops. Not too strong, just enough to notice they are there. ABV is very strong due to the amount LME and 2# of 2-row used. That was one of the reasons i ended up increasing Batch size to 6 gallons. I will be bottling this beer this 12.22.2007.

I hope the bitterness doesn't fade away since is not too strong at the moment. Imagine a guinness stout, smoother due to the oats, maltier, sweeter, balance of flavors, an far less bitterness. uhmmmmmm!!!
After aged for 11 months...

Beer lost some bitterness which I hoped not to happen, but that is because I was carefull not to exceed it (I dont care for hoppy beers). Beer taste improved as months went by, really pleased with its flavors. Tasted mellow and smooth. Everytime I open a bottle I always drank it one sip at a time (Reason why it lasted so long on) The warmer it got the better and flavors where more noticible. As I drank one I was thinking this recipe could go very well with honey or some sweetness. Carbonation was great. Body was very silky (heavy)and smelled very chocolately. The alcohol content was real nice. I will like to see some hop aroma next time. Overall a very nice beer, specially if aged. I will try to brew this again with a few minor changes in December. I recommend it to anyone.
I am sad to say...
