Preparation
Steep your grains, coffee and oats in a grain bag at 150 degrees F for 45 minutes to an hour. Then add the extract and boil for 60 minutes. Adding the 1.5 oz. Bullion hops. The Remaining .5 oz. Bullion hops and 1 oz. Fuggles are added with 15 minutes and 10 minutes left in the boil in that order. Cool and pitch yeast. The lactose is added when bottling. I boiled my priming sugar and lactose at the same time and added the mixture to my bottling bucket before racking to it.

Comments
I think it turned out excellent. I was going for a smooth stout and I didn't want the coffee to be overpowering. The coffee really comes through in the aftertaste. Drink one and then try to keep yourself from drinking another... I think the aftertaste makes me want more and more.
