CL65 flight crew has an unstabilized approach during an ILS in IMC. During go around aircraft continues descent and GPWS sounds 'sink rate.' captain assumes PF duties and continues the go around to another ILS approach.

Narrative:
First officer PF; vectored high on ILS runway 8L. WX was 10 mi visibility and overcast 004. We tried to get slowed down; but could not by 1000 ft AGL. At 900 ft I called 'go around;' and first officer pushed power up and leveled nose (still descending). Tower gave us a climb to 4000 ft and heading 330 degrees. First officer started turn and was still descending (100-200 FPM). I said 'you need to climb!' I pushed the power up to go around power; and we were still descending in the turn. I said 'my controls' 3 times and took the aircraft. I stopped the turn and pulled up to 10 degrees. As I took controls; we got 'sink rate' (I assume due to high power setting and negative vertical speed). During the climb; I called for gear up and overspd the gear retraction by 10 KTS (when maintenance inspected on the ground). I continued as PF and second approach was uneventful. A lowest altitude on first approach was approximately 400-500 ft AGL.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: CL65 FLT CREW HAS AN UNSTABILIZED APCH DURING AN ILS IN IMC. DURING GAR ACFT CONTINUES DSCNT AND GPWS SOUNDS 'SINK RATE.' CAPT ASSUMES PF DUTIES AND CONTINUES THE GAR TO ANOTHER ILS APCH.
Narrative: FO PF; VECTORED HIGH ON ILS RWY 8L. WX WAS 10 MI VISIBILITY AND OVCST 004. WE TRIED TO GET SLOWED DOWN; BUT COULD NOT BY 1000 FT AGL. AT 900 FT I CALLED 'GAR;' AND FO PUSHED PWR UP AND LEVELED NOSE (STILL DSNDING). TWR GAVE US A CLB TO 4000 FT AND HDG 330 DEGS. FO STARTED TURN AND WAS STILL DSNDING (100-200 FPM). I SAID 'YOU NEED TO CLB!' I PUSHED THE PWR UP TO GAR PWR; AND WE WERE STILL DSNDING IN THE TURN. I SAID 'MY CTLS' 3 TIMES AND TOOK THE ACFT. I STOPPED THE TURN AND PULLED UP TO 10 DEGS. AS I TOOK CTLS; WE GOT 'SINK RATE' (I ASSUME DUE TO HIGH PWR SETTING AND NEGATIVE VERT SPD). DURING THE CLB; I CALLED FOR GEAR UP AND OVERSPD THE GEAR RETRACTION BY 10 KTS (WHEN MAINT INSPECTED ON THE GND). I CONTINUED AS PF AND SECOND APCH WAS UNEVENTFUL. A LOWEST ALT ON FIRST APCH WAS APPROX 400-500 FT AGL.
