Black Muddy River Oatmeal Stout

I've never tried making a clone but i guess this was a try at cloning
Wild Irish Rogue Oatmeal Stout. don't know if it came out close or not
and don't really care cuz this is one tasty stout.

Yeast:	5.5 gallons used wyeast 1056 in 1/2 gallon starter. 5.5 gallons used whitbread dry yeast rehydrated.
Log:	stuck ferment at 1.030...temp may have dropped too low. added 4tsp of amalyse enzyme to each fermenter. ferment resumed.

Tasting:	took keg to halloween party after about 1 month of aging. was a major hit and keg was dead within 45 minutes. despite the amount of hops used, it's a well balance stout. Rogue uses aproximately the same amount of IBU's. seems to mix well with the amount of crystal and dark grains. will age bottles for as long as i can! :-)
