After several years of lurking, i was drinking this when i finally decided to submit a rating. A gorgeous beer to look at dark, but clear, with a nice head and great lacing. The taste is complex and sweet with rasins and ripe fruits dancing on the tounge. Its very good but short of the best i have had.

Aug 20, 2008 Dark brown in color with a good sized, light brown head with decent lacing. The aroma is dominated by dark fruits with notes of chocolate and molasses. The flavor is of plums, dates and molasses with a hint of oak. Finishes clean. The texture is syrupy. Overall I’d say its a great beer with a very complex and relaxed flavor.

Aug 18, 2008 RBSG 2008. On tap pours darker brown with a smooth khaki head. Sweet plum and cherry in the flavor, to a dry spicy finish. Hints of raisin and chocolate show in the finish. A small amount of excess alcohol comes through, but isn’t to distracting.

Aug 9, 2008 1 y/o bottle bought at the Blind Tiger. Huge sweet aroma is very toasty, loaded with raisin, pumpernickel bread, red wine, spice. Deep complexity. A lot of toasty sweetness in the flavor, with plum and raisin. Has a bit of a thin body and slight alcohol burn. Only one year old but tastes older, not that that’s a bad thing. A good ager but probably not something people would want to hold on to for much longer.
