1 lb Home Toasted Flaked Oats (7.1%)
0.63 lb Chocolate Malt (4.5%)
0.5 lb Roasted Barley (3.6%)

Well water with estimates for mineral content and some chalk, calcium chloride and baking soda added. Probably moderately hard without too many carbonates.

Other comments:
I was aiming somewhere between an oatmeal stout and a foreign extra stout on this one. If I do it again, and I might, I'll probably add some crystal malt to it.

Man , this is a great stout. I tend to over complicate my stouts with all my must go left over grains. Surprisingly light and refreshing, seems dryer than 1.014. Nice roasty toasty with just a little chocolate. Perfect bitterness, Voss is a boss and works great here. Nice Job !

Re: December 8, 2021
I like this stout a lot. Very smooth, not too bitter or roasty, hints of dark chocolate.

Thanks Andrew!

Loved this beer. Amazing head retention and taste. Can't find anything bad to say about it.

Re: December 8, 2021
I sat with my GF and we blind tasted this to see if I could guess what it was and the ingredients in it. Very obvious that it’s Magnum for bittering. I thought it was a milk stout because of the fullness which I think was a cool combo from the Kviek and the specialty malts. I thought cascade in the whirlpool and I figured about 23 IBUs so I’m wrong lol.
This beer is great and if I brewed it at Serpent I would proudly serve it to my customers. The only real negative is that i don’t have more.
Thanks!

Re: December 8, 2021
I don't think I have anything to add that others haven't already said, but it's a fine stout. Head and retention are top notch. You clearly got a fairly clean result from the Kveik yeast, which isn't always the case. Well done!

I don't have more to add other than I'm blown away that it was Kveik yeast, great beer!
