A black beer with a red shine and a dying brown head. The aroma is sweet with powerful notes of roasted malt as well as lighter notes of chocolate, alcohol, and berries. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, wood, and prunes, as well as roasted malt. The mouthfeel is very smooth.

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.

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.
