Jul 29, 2005 draft during RBSG visit - smoke, wood, and grass make up the aroma wafting off a golden body with an off white head. flavors are burnt wood and toast, little bit of sweet malts and maple. i liked the amount of smoke involved in this beer, as it wasnt overwhelming, but was complimentary to the other flavors going on, instead of being the only flavor.

Jul 20, 2005 07.09.05 Tap at brewpub, RBSG. Deep amber, big beige head lasts. Much smoke, maple sugar and wood fire. Lots of smoked meat flavor, spicy. Wet finish is somewhat sweet. Reminds me of Cinderbock in its juicy meatiness. The woodiness of the smoke hints at Heller Trum, but that notion is wisked away as the body of this one tends toward tiring and heavy.

Jul 18, 2005 Glass at the brewpub at RBSG Montreal. Almost clear medium amber with lasting wisps of moderate froth...brown sugar smoked over a maple fire in the lovely nose, peat and vanilla peeking out later...pale malt with a touch of lemon gives this a lightness uncommon in smoked beers, wood-fired bitterness creeps in subtly interacting with the soft body well...slightly harsh metallic edge at the end isn’t exactly disfiguring but does give me pause, as does a certain cottony character just after midpalate...perhaps just a touch too light for the bitterness, this is nevertheless an intriguing experiment that I wish I could have tried more.

Jul 13, 2005 (RBSG05) Crystal clear amber body topped by off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, delicious smoked (Gouda). Taste is medium sweet, smoke, caramel, smoked cheese. Nice smoke burp. Light-medium body. The smoke evokes Aecht Schlenkerla -- truly lovely.

Jul 13, 2005 RBSG 2005. Orangey amber, small white head. Mild smokey aroma has notes of campfire and barbecue. Surprisingly subtle aroma. Mushrooms make a brief appearance that is incongruous and possibly imagined. Flavour is restrained, with the smoke accenting the malt rather than boorishly pushing it away. Average palate. Finally! A smoked beer that doesn’t suck! ;) (I’m kidding… mostly.)

Jul 12, 2005 RBSG 2005 at 2005: Poured amber/copper with a smallish offwhite head. Smokey aroma. Quite a large amount of smoke flavor- ham, sausage. Sweet finish. Lightly carbonated. Nice if you like smoked beers.
