Creamy toasty oatmeal stout

This is a third or fourth attempt over about three years at getting the most oatmeal possible in a stout. This time I toasted the oats on a cookie sheet in the oven and put them in a sieve. All water that was added to wort was run through this sieve so there is a lot of good milky creamy stuff so start with.
