Not Yet, the Rogue's notes.

Clean-up of the bloodline begins. Just another Monday at the OC Inlet, 11/18/2019  -Dispatch Pic

   Ready for any weekend. Not. Not making time. Not getting out. Not getting wet. Not yet. Water now getting to borderline 50F. Weather not exactly conducive. Weekends have been busy. Clean-up from the offshore systems earlier in the week had occurred off hours, i.e. weekdays. Mornings, afternoons (despite winds picking up). Yep, Standard Time work hours. 0-Dark Thirty by the time I get off. No surf yet...
   ...Beer review though. Of course. Like the most recent coastal system, Chaos Brewing outta Roanoke, VA added to the Atlantic confusion with Squatch Ale. A scotch ale...get it? Poured a dark reddish-brown, with a thin finger's worth, khaki head. Light toffee-malt notes mixed with spice. At 7.5%, a little boozy sweetness in the initial swig. Flavors of caramel and roasted malts. Finish was a hair tart...flashing the 25 IBUs of slightly bitter hop citrus. A good-un to wash away a missed surf opportunity, ye olde wee-heavy got rated a solid B.
