Jul 23, 2009 RBESG Sheffield 2009 Grand Tasting at the Harlequin. Black colour, light off white head. Aroma of vanilla, bourbon, caramel, very sweet and a bit boozy. Flavour is sweet, vanilla, bourbon, coffee, alcohol, bit of liquorice. Very alcoholic. Medium bodied. Lacked the aggressive flavours of the regular Gonzo imo.

Jul 18, 2009 Slick looking close to black, slick nice mouthfeel. Aroma is too ondimensional, lots of whiskey, some chocolate but I missed the lovely caramell toffe stuff going on in the regular Gonzo. Same goes for the flavour, very intense but one-dimensional. It’s good but too straightforward for my liking.

Jun 24, 2009 A healthy specimen delivering a rich hearty experience. A good head when poured with good aromatics. Medium nectar with excellent carbonation. Chocolate malts are prominent with a mild roast component. I do detect some whisky essence but not much. The finish is long and savory. I has a nice balance for such a big beer.
