Sampled at the brewery’s taproom in Spearfish, South Dakota. Pours a clear cola caramel color brew with a thick off-white head that slowly dissolves to a fine film and good lacing. Aroma of roasted caramel malt, some dried roasted nuts with flowery hops and toffee. Taste is medium bodied, very light carbonated with a roasted malt and mild bitterness. Finish is slightly thin, mildly bitter with a dry toasted malt aftertaste.

Drinks Very Smooth, Looks great, The aroma is very Pleasing. Great finish...I will drink as many pints i can!!!

RBSG 2007 Grand Tasting. Clear brown with a small white head. Lightly nutty nose and flavor, some toasty caramel. OK.

Some nice notes, all in the typical brown ale range--nuts, caramel, some light toast. Quick finish, low carbonation (from a growler). Not bad; very typical of the style.

RBSG 2007. Many thanks to Skyview for getting me my South Dakota rate! Growler. Ruby color with no head. Aroma of caramel and nut. Very nutty taste with a little sourness to the finish. Not too shabby.
