2.9
   AROMA 5/10   APPEARANCE 3/5   TASTE 6/10   PALATE 3/5   OVERALL 12/20
Beershine (4766) - The Sunshine State, USA - FEB 6, 2009
Opaque hazy dark brown with tan head. Husky aroma, oversparged. Prickly mouthfeel. Seems high gravity without being too heavy. Dark chocolate and chili notes.

Velkyal (220) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - JAN 5, 2011
a deep russet beer topped with a dark ivory head. The nose was full of cocoa and sweet grass. The sweetness of caramel malts was very much to the fore in the flavour department, with cocoa and toffee dominant, but the hops play through with a mild spicy bite that stops the sweetness from being overpowering. Very smooth drinking, and drink plenty more of it I did, but had there been a live fire in the pub I would have abandoned my station at the bar, and any plans on being coherent when I returned to the in-laws’.

   AROMA 7/10   APPEARANCE 2/5   TASTE 7/10   PALATE 3/5   OVERALL 14/20
Oakes (10202) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - FEB 7, 2009
Cloudy. Medium brown. Low-slung head. Caramel, toffee and toasted walnut in the nose, but also some husky grains. Husky on the palate too, which takes away from the otherwise pleasant toasted note and chocolate malt complexity. The finish leans towards dry with only a little bit of muscularity (as BWs go). Accent on the nuttiness at the very end.
