Notes

While getting strike water to temp, place oats on baking sheet and sprinkle brown sugar over top. Toast oats in 300 degree oven for 30 minutes, or until they start to smell like oatmeal cookies. Add to grain bag with other malts and begin.

Make the Ice cold brew chicory coffee 3-4 days into fermentation: get a water bottle or mason jar with ounces markings. Put in enough ice to hit the 20oz mark. Add 75g or 3/4 cup of chicory coffee grounds (cafe du Monde is ideal) on top of ice. Add in enough filtered water to hit the 16oz mark. Put lid on, shake it up, and set in the fridge. Shake it up every time you think about it or happen to open the fridge. A couple times a day is fine. It will be ready in 12-24 hours, but the flavor is best after 3 days. Filter out grounds before adding to bottling bucket.

This is a thick, slick, chewy, roasty, toasty, smoky coffee stout. Mashing high brings a nice sweetness to balance the smoke and roast. Molasses in the boil and priming with it brings it all together, and the end result makes you think of a group of cowboys enjoying a beer around the campfire.
