RBSG ’06. Black with a thin tan head. Aroma of coffee, dark roasted malts and dark chocolate. Flavor was roasted malt, dark chocolate with a hint of coffee liqueur. A bit thin bodied for an impy stout but still pretty solid.

RBSG 2006 - Grand Tasting. Deep, reddish muddy-brown body with a somewhat oily, fading tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate and cocoa, light butter, and alcohol fumes. Flavor has lots of roast and is somewhat rummy with a medium sweet chocolate cake quality. A decent imperial stout for sure, but doesn’t jump out and grab me like some do.

Beer #10 RBSG 06. An impressive looking bottle I might add. Deepest brown in color, black in the middle, just a trace of a head. Big woodsy aroma, wet earth, and a touch of pine. Flavor is a matchm but with more chocolate in there as well.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Thanks to argo0 for this one: Pours to a dark brown body with a small tan head. Aroma is fruity, roasted malt, though it’s a fairly mild roasted malt for an Imperial Stout, prunes, plums, yeast. The taste is yeast, fruit, spice from the alcohol, oak chips, berries, light bourbon flavors, and some dusty sweet grain. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation.

Thanks to CaptainCougar. Poured black with a small tan head. Big coffee and roasted malt aroma. The flavor was filled with chocolate with some smokey notes. Mild bitterness at the finish. Medium bodied.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampled at kp’s Cellar Party.
Pours black with a thin head.
Roast malt, caramel and a touch of smoke.
The flavor thins out a bit from what I expected from the aroma. Too much over-roasted malt flavors with a sweet/bitter finish.
