Jan 27, 2007 Pours out dark brown, almost black, with a ring of tan foam. Decent spidery lacing. Prominent oak and vanilla in the aroma. I taste a sweetish chocolate and mildly roasted malt and a bourbon character straight through to the finish. The body is fairly thick, with very nice carbonation that is prickly against the tongue.

Dec 30, 2006 On tap at the brewery. Served too cold. Dark brown; clear at the edges. Slight, creamy tan head. Brown sugar and light mocha. Coffee, bittersweet chocolate, vanilla with a mellow, grassy hop bite. Some cocoa and oak after. A little too carbonated and not enough body for my taste. Nice drinker but needs more richness to shine.

Dec 13, 2006 On tap at the brewpub, RBSG 2006. A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted malt and chocolate - the aroma is surprisingly weak. The flavor is sweet with notes of whiskey, roasted malt, and wood, leading to a dry end where the whiskey lingers around. Compared to other barrel aged beers, I’m disappointed in this one.

Dec 10, 2006 Get this whenever I fly out of Dulles. Amazingly great taste. Flavor is creamy and complex. Hints of oak and vanilla are standouts. Overally very good.

Oct 3, 2006 Draught at Old Dominion for breakfast - RBSG DC 06
Dark black, light tan head and nice lacing. Nose of light oak, the perfect amount compared to the sweet roast. Coffee and chocolate notes the beer possesses. The flavor is creamy, lots of oak and vanilla. Creamy and juicy. Hands down the best beer here, like their main brewmaster had the day off or something. Finishes creamy, nice.

Sep 27, 2006 I had this at the brewpub yesterday. It is similar to the bottled version, which I’ve had numerous times before, but the vanilla flavor comes out much stronger in the brewpub version. Other complex flavors there as well. Even better than the bottled version. Wow.

Aug 26, 2006 This is an incredible stout. It makes it worth the drive out to Ashburn when I visit DC. It’s also available at Summit’s Tavern in Roswell, GA.
