BJCP competition style question

[slin]

Would it be bad to enter the same beer 2x in 2 different categories for a beer that is wood aged?

I have a dark strong aged with heavy toasted oak and was thinking of entering it in the wood category and the dark strong category. The beer is not over oaky in flavor.

Go for it, but it sounds to me that it belongs in 16E (Belgian Specialty), which is THE place to put Belgian beers that do not fit anywhere else. Be sure to mention the oak there. I'd also think about t
Just enter it as a plain old Dark Strong in the Dark Strong (18E) category. You can even give it a whirl in the Belgian Dubbel category, too, depending on the gravity.

I was thinking the dubbel category as well.

Enter it in any category where the color and taste seem to fit, regardless of what the actual ingredients are. I made a cream ale a couple years ago that a number of judges swore was a lager. Taste, not ingredients is the deciding factor.
