With all the votes for an oatmeal stout, I can recommend this http://www.brewingkb.com/homebrewing/I- … -1971.html I have incorporated this into every other brew week, and I can not say enough about how good this comes out. I told jimvy who the recipe came from that I giggle every time I take a sip of this, and evry time someone puts this beer into comp, they win. Maybe one of the promash or beersmith guys can convert the base to extract, I am not that knowledgable. I have 10 gallons of this from friday fermenting as we speak and will be doing 10 more gallons in 2 weeks.
Don't know if posting another forums thread is legal or uncouth, however this is testimony, tkae the time to read all 18 pages and you will want to brew this. Sorry in advance if I offend

I have an Oatmeal Stout that I have been working on for the last two years. Its not quite right yet, hence I haven't posted a recipe yet. So I'd love to see you guys brain storm on an Oatmeal Stout and compare it to my notes.
oatmeal stout my way:
this is for 6 gal, for 5 just reduce grain a bit
7# 2 row
1.25 # Crystal, 20L or more
1.25# Black Patent
1.25# chocolat
1.25# Roasted
2# Flaked oats
Boil
1.5 oz Cascade hops at 6%
.5 oz Columbus hops at 14.6
Flavor, Aroma
.5 oz Amerillo at 9.8%
(I use whole hops, and I feel any medium range Alpha Acid hop will be good)
***Note for LME brewers
you can subsitute 5# LME for the 2 row
Due to the nature of brewing this beer, if you don't use a "kit", you will have to do a partial mash. This is easy to do, just put your grain into a grain bag, and place in water prior to heating, heat as uasual, when water reaches 170*F remove grain bag, and rinse with a little hot water.
from left field...how about a dunkelweizen?
