R&R Oatmeal Stout: Chocolately color. Hardly any head. Thick, malty aroma. Bitter chocolate dominates the flavor. Body is quite thin for a stout - I'd call it a chocoalte porter if I'd brewed it. Hops very gentle in the finish - appropriate for the style. Bitter malts show up as the beer warms. Its a good beer, not a great one, due to the body miscalculation. It's quite drinkable. 8.3

India Pale Ale: Thin head. The copper color is a little lighter than average. Body is nice and solid The hops tend to show up most strongly in the swallow. Balance is somewhat off. It could use a bit more malt to balance. It's not way off - just a little. Warms up decently. 8.1
