Ungstrup (14757), Frederiksberg, Denmark Aug 4, 2009 Party fass at RBESG 2008. A deep red beer with an orangey head. The aroma is dominated by notes of over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and over ripe fruits, but a light oxidation is also present. presario (2953), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Jul 25, 2009 Queen’s Ale July 3, 2002. Bubbles around the edge of the glass and a few in the middle. Dark brown liquid allows some light. Aroma of dark wood, alcohol, rum, dark fruit and a hint of spice. Still beer. Tasty spice. Quiet alcohol. Licorice root and blackstrap molasses. ChristianScheffel (4431), Odense, Denmark Jul 11, 2009 RBESG 08. Deep dark amber with a lasting off-white head. Fruity aroma with dates and a little alcohol. Sweet, dried fruit flavour with hot alcohol. rickgordon (3285), Göteborg, Sweden Jun 21, 2009 Big bottle. Sampled twice, in 2006 and 2009.
Aroma from raisins and ripe apples, apple cake, very tart and vineous. Fantastic aroma. When we cracked it open, an enormous aroma was revealed.
Horrid taste from harsh sourness. It’s dusty and immensely sour. Light and lifeless body of course.
CapedBrewsader (260), Brasschaat, Belgium Feb 20, 2009 Updated: Mar 2, 200925cl bottle at De Kulminator, iRate: pours a red tinted dark brown with a few soap suds for a head. Big sherry aroma with cardboard and a touch of smoke. Sweet Madeira. Carmelized sugars. Wonderfully sweet. The flat brew touches the lips and releases wet newspaper, but then livens up with some sherry and port. Rusty metal ... Perhaps literally rusted metal... looking at the rusted cap. Again smoke. Quite complex but obviosly way beyond it’s years. Still very enjoyable though.
Hophead22 (1056), Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA Feb 8, 2009 Hand bottle from goldtwins, big thanks Larry! Hazy dark brown pour with very little head. Super rich, lots of dark fruits, very nice. Flavor is a bit off, but still quite tasty, slight bitterness and a little warming, very good. Dickinsonbeer (3434), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Feb 7, 2009 Bottle shared by Miketd. Thanks! Pours a medium coppery haze with no head. Aroma is oxidized on the high end, but not so much that it ruined the beer like I have had in other Bass No 1’s I had had previous to this- lots of wet paper but stil a dried sweet maltiness and lots of dank old fruity esters. Flavor is a bit salty with some soy and medium to high oxidation- slight sherry and dirty old rotting wood- somehwat sweet but the saltiness comes through and kills it. One of the better bottles I have had but still not that great. rcasta (472), El Salvador Jan 13, 2009 Por alguna razon se me habia quedado sin rating pero ya resuelto. Entre las comerciales es buena
