Commercial Description:
It’s not often that a great summer swell coincides with a full moon, but when they collide, nature affords us a rare opportunity to paddle out long after everyone has called it a day. These moments are a solitary pursuit with empty lineups, but those who carve graceful lines under a full moon understand how things can be dark lonely and rewarding at the same time. So next time you paddle in from an overcrowded beach break, remember that nothing tastes better than a cold beer after a session. We suggest a glass of this smooth roasty black lager for contemplating empty lineups and waves that go on for days. Most likely, you’ll long for epic summer swells under moon lit sessions opening the doors to isolation and empty secret spots of an age trying to pass us by.

[1360-20080517] 1pt6floz bottle. Old toasted bread aroma with coffee grinds and marinating beef shanks. Dark brown black body with a medium-lasting creamy light tan head. Coffee grinds continues in flavour with dry and roasted nuts. Medium-full body. Quite dry, could stand to be more bitter.

Draft at brewpub for RBSG. Pours a deep brown with a brown head. Nutty and lagery aroma. Medium light bodied with a fine, but lively carbonation. Non aggressive flavor of dark roast, accented by nuts, tobacco, and chocolate. Clean finish. Not bad. A little thin in the middle.

22oz bottle. Pleasant aroma of chocolate, molasses, and roasty malt. Poured an opaque black color. The head was short and brown. Somke lace was left behind on the glass at the end. Medium bodied. Delicately sweet up front, dry and bitter at the end. Big roasted malt flavor with a dark chocolate accent. Mmmmm.
