Aug 16, 2005 Pours like your typical Guinness like stout dark brown with a light brown head. Some chocolatey notes were detected on the nose. Tasted nutty with an average bitter peppery finish, but otherwise watery.

Aug 3, 2005 Pours almost pure black with a nice thick foamy head and good lace. Not overcarbed which is good. Lots of roasted coffee and chocolate in the aroma. Flavor is roast and chocolate malts, lot sof coffee, nutty, and a bit hoppy in the end. Very very smooth. Hard to believe it is only 5%.

Jul 28, 2005 Updated: Dec 11, 2005Deep dark brown, nice light brown head. Campfire nose, pleasantly dry yet with vanilla flavors. Brown sugar sweetness contrasts nicely with bushes like hops. It tries to be dry in mouth,but this brown sugar presence can’t be stopped. It feels slightly oaty, floury and cerealic. Farily rich stout in terms of ingredients I assume, but not particularly complex and somewhat overrated perhaps. Medium bodied, slightly powdery texture, rich for 5%. Good.
Amendment: An extremely carbonated example with pleasant floury and somewhat dry oatmeal-like flavours, Most pleasant roastiness that never hints at tartness and a flawless apperance boasting a gigantic head.

Jul 26, 2005 RBSG ’05 - body is a deep brown, almost opaque, with scarlet tones and a cream colored head. aroma was very mild, some roasts and coffee, but nothing very distinctive or strong. flavor was rich with deep roasted coffee and sweet chocolate and vanilla highlights. body was very very smooth and medium to full in terms of thickness. very nice, but alot sweeter than other dry stouts if you are comparing by style.

Almost opaque black with a yellowy-red colour at the thin parts of the glass. The foam formed a nice tan ring and an island. Vanilla-bourbon aroma with lots of alcohol and some piney US hops and coffee notes. A roasty bourbon flavour with some vanilla has good bittering from the hops, mostly, and diacetyl. A little burnt at the end. Medium body with low carbonation and almost a clean finish, if it were not for that burnt flavour. Very nice.

Jul 20, 2005 07.08.05 RBSG Dark brown, not quite black, lofty tan head. Plain and dry, some raisin. Some sweet caramel is a surprise. Very nice, not nearly as dry or bitter as expected/hoped.
