Beer 365- #198 Rogue Double Dead Guy Ale
Pours a dark amber/red with thick clingy tan head. The nose is warming with notes of sweet caramel malt and crisp piney hops. The feel was rich and dense with just the right amount of carbonation. Flavor started out sweet and malty but the hops countered nicely near the mid-palate to create a nice balance. (9% ABV)

Beer 365 #192 Oan Gat Biere de Garde
Quite often I am asked to taste friend's homebrews. Many of them are good, few of them are memorable. Oan Gat is definitely memorable. Pours an unfiltered dark amber with nicely forming off-white head. Nose is slightly bready with some dark fruit and spice peeking through. The body is medium with nice, active carbonation. Flavors are intricate yet subtle. Plum like fruit, mild brown sugar and complex spices rest nicely on a bed of malt. Tasty! Chris- feel free to drop off more. (7.3% ABV)
