Baru Brown

This recipe combines two hop profiles I like: Panama Red from NB Forum and Horizon/Summit. I'm replacing Horizon for Magnum, becasue I have some Magnum whole hops and both provide a very clean bitter. Any 2row/crystal/chocolate malt profile should do. I've added Quick Oats to add body and generous Cluster hops for a "heady" aroma, something I would appreciate if I was on Volcan Basu, Panama's highest peak.
