COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
For the sixth year we have faithfully produced the next edition in our impressive series of annual limited beers. Copious amounts of Pale, Chocolate, and Munich malts gives the mouthfeel to this brew. Additionally, twenty pounds of East African Cocoa combines with subtle raspberry flavors to accentuate the beer's creative backbone. Though not laden with hop bitterness, we chose the Perle hop's mild spice and sweetness to complement the chocolate in this ale. Unusual care and a year of aging, as well as hand corking and a never to be used again recipe give this beer a signature flavor which should only improve with time. It is extremely limited, extremely strong, and extremely original, because as we like to say around here "It's All About Extremes!" 11.7% Alcohol by Volume.

Dark brown color. Sweet and fruity aroma. Some almost belgian yeast qualities in the flavor and aroma. The body is good, not too thick. Sweet sugary flavors with a lot of malt.

I don’t remember liking this as much as my numbers show, at least not as much as the 04. Aroma has sweet fruit, some apple, peach, and raisin. The alcohol is much cooler, it doesn’t have the burn. Flavor is sugar and malt. Scarcely any hops, which I expect from an American Strong Ale.

RBSG 2007 Dark and thin, smells sweet and then taste bitter YIKES unexpected. I think it is weird that Lumpy says it taste like rodent nest and tootsie rolls!

RBSG07. From 75 cL blue bottle. Pours dark brown with a light brown head. Aroma is slight citric. Flavour is raisin and mild citric at once. Very nice flavour, enjoyable. Raisin sweet to dry finish.

badgerben (4092) - Blaine, Minnesota, USA - JUN 25, 2007
RBSG 2007. Hellomynameis continues the Storm carnage. Brown color with no head. The aroma and taste are damn near identical. Both are salty with a raw barley hit. The only noticeable difference is it smells like it would be sweet, but a lot of bitterness comes out in the taste. Not bad at all.

Lumpy (1802) - Carrollton, Texas, USA - JUN 3, 2007
Nose-grape, black pepper. Body-murky brown with a thin ring of bubbles and thin film of bubbles. Taste-woody, chocolate, rodent nest, dry, tootsie rolls, chocolate powder, medium CO2, powdered chocolate dominates, soy, unami, caramel.
