| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 7, 2004 Updated: Oct 24, 2006On tap @ the San Diego Strong Ale Fest Day 2. Poured a dark, hazy mahogany color with a small off white head. Sweet malts. Caramel and somewhat a little earthy. Not bad but didn’t really stand out against the other beers I’ve been drinking at the fest (of course everything is relative when surrounded by so many 4+ rated beers!). 7 3 7 4 14
Rerate from 1 liter body. Increased the numbers... Rastacouere (5565), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Oct 25, 2005 Muddy caramel pour, white head quickly leaving. Strongly bready munichs will hint at old bread box, grassy water plants, rubber, apple skin and ethanol before it’s over. It makes for a chaotic complexity, very demanding to get over the alcohol. Very sweet in mouth obviously, has the time to become overly so before the sworned over hops have their effect. Medium body, strong and sloppy mouthfeel with a developping underneath papery oxidation despite the assumingly young age. Ehhmm, not my style at all. hopscotch (5549), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 12, 2007 Bottle… RBSG 07 … Hazy, caramel-colored ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Caramel and dark fruit aroma with undertones of cinnamon and brown sugar. Malty-sweet flavor provides gobs of cookie dough along with those lesser notes of caramel and brown sugar. Sufficient bitterness. Full-bodied and syrupy with restrained carbonation. Sweet, malty, rich finish. CaptainCougar (5532), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 10, 2005 Hazy copper ruby color with a frothy light-tan head. Fresh fruity hoppiness in the aroma has some enticing sweet caramel. Body starts sweet with some gritty caramel maltiness and a nice bittering hoppy balance toward a warming, alcoholic finish. Apart from the fact that it could hide the alcohol better, a nice beer that should age well.
