Judge's comments:

National judge - "An exceptional example of a Russian Imp. Stout. Flavor is rich, intense, complex and well balanced. Full body, but well attenuated. A really fine beer."

Thanks for sharing, Karl. I will indeed try to make something like this one of these days.

And wow, 1.118 OG! That's pretty heavy duty, alright.

What do you mean by "flaked oats"?

Is this oatmeal? Flaked Barley?

[nickpgoodman]

Flaked Oat is Oatmeal basically.

If you buy it from the homebrew shop it will be called Flaked Oats. You can sub Quaker Oatmeal, but make sure you get the Quick Oats.
