Jul 13, 2008 Mini-cask @ the RBESG08 Grand Tasting.
[thank you, chris o]
Pours deep black with a small, bubbly, beige head. Aroma is sweet, light chocolate and subdued roastiness. Low carbonation, oily mouthfeel. Flavour is wonderful, notes of raspberries among the good roasted malts, chocolate, a touch of coffee and a long dry aftertaste. Good ’bite’ and exceptionally drinkable.

Jul 9, 2008 Big thanks to cgarvieuk. Poured with an almost opaque brown color and small beige head (with a strong pour). Chocolaty aroma. Like chocolate licorice, not the black ones but the brown ones, and hot chocolate powder. The flavor is of dry roasted malt and a chalky chocolate. Light to medium bodied. Some mild warmth but no alcohol taste. The beer opened up a good bit with warmth. With a fuller smoother milk chocolate did come some alcohol but not too much to distract.

Jul 9, 2008 Draught at RBESG. Near black, minimal head. Evident coffee aroma. Sweet and fruity with near full body. There’s prunes, licroice and chocolate sauce and well as cocoa and caramel. Alcohol is quite evident, and the flavours does not blend together all that well. Finishes with low bitterness and some raw stickyness.

Jul 7, 2008 Thanks again Tom!!! Pours a burnt mahogany, light carbonation. Aroma is roasted, with slight notes of licorice and smoke. Flavor is a continuation on the theme, with a nice rounding bitterness. A wonderful beer, but not as amazing as the #1.

Jul 6, 2008 RBESG2008: 5 L partyfass. Thanks to chris o. Pours dark brown with a golden reddish glare and a slowly collapsing and light tan head. Mild fruity and dense malty aroma. Spiced and dense malty flavour. Warming alchol finish mixed with a nice dense malt note. Light coffee note too. Ends with a lingering set of roasted notes. Nice.
