Aug 14, 2009 From bottle, RBSG08. Pours brown with a creamy off-white head. Dense malty and slight spiced aroma. Fruity and dense malty yet with a light yeasty touch in the flavour. Smooth yet also quite roasted and slight spiced.

Dec 12, 2008 Updated: Mar 9, 2009Bottle… RBSG 08… This beer rocks!... Pours very dark with burnt orange highlights (when held up to light) with a small, creamy, beige head. Good retention. The aroma is swimming in sweet, rich notes of toffee, toasted nuts and chocolate with a gentle note of buttery diacetyl (which compliments rather than contaminates). Medium to full-bodied and silky with soft carbonation. Malty, hearty and sweet, as it should be, but not cloyingly so - not by a long shot. Finishes malty and sweet with a hint of butterscotch. World class offering!

Aug 31, 2009 Bottle at Rattle N Hum. Dark brown pour. The nose is absolutely lovely. Intense chewy nose. Lots of sweet dark malts with a heavy cocoa character dominating. Chocolate and a touch of herbal tobacco character that really works well in here. Quite malty with a nice sweet toffeeish character in the middle. Intense but approachable with a bit of cedary woodiness as well. A little bit of grainy spice adds yet another layer of complexity. Really, lovely tasty stuff.
