Notes

I have only made this once, but this turned out being my biggest hit yet in terms of homebrews I've taken to parties. The final profile is closest to a Kentucky Common ale ignoring the alcohol percentage. The only input is that it was almost too thick and too foamy for the style; I think cutting oats in half may be the move.
