Notes:
First time using swamp cooler.  Held 64 F first 48 hours.   Added small ice bottled and cooled to 61 F.
Blow off beer smells very biscuity but very good.
Biscuit and bread flavor come out to give it a "warmer" taste.
Tastes pretty good after 4 weeks bottle condition and not fridge chilled before opening.
Tasted 9/3/13 and tasted great.  Slight bread flavor which reduced the harshness of the black and barley malts.  Could add the oats to make a very soft and smooth stout.
