Nov 18, 2007 Growler at the RBSG grand tasting on 6/23/07: Pours an oily opaque with dark brown edges and a thin ring of light tan head. Aroma of earthy sweet lightly roasted and smoky malts with a hint of butterscotch. Body starts a little thinner with some mild lightly sweet and earthy caramel malt toward a lightly smoky bittersweet finish with a touch of butterscotch complexity. An interesting stout.

Oct 5, 2007 RBSG 07 Minneapolis Grand Tasting: Murky dark brown, no head, light lacing. Nose of wood and barrel, light bourbon and soy sauce. The flavor is dry and woody, bourbon and light roast, some clean sweet chocolate. It’s ironic how so many beers to reek of diacetyl and this one actually advertises such and has none.

Aug 1, 2007 RBSG 07. Growler. A very candy nose that has some abv with it (now I know why). A coal black pour with no head or lace. A deep hard coffee flavor and a diacetyl flavor that could be called butterscotch. A bit thin with no carbonation. I’m surprised that it was 15%.
