Aug 16, 2006 Sampled at RBSG 2006- Grand Tasting. 2005 vintage. Pours dark brown with a brown head. Strong alcohol content to the nose. This is surprising to see that it is only 7.5%. Strong roasted coffee flavor, but the strong alcohol aroma is unusual. Medium-to-thick body.

Aug 13, 2006 Bottle via trade with Bück Dich - Thanks Jordan! - Pours black with not much head at all. Aroma is lots of roasted malt, a touch of chocolate, coffee, and some caramel. Flavor includes all of those chocolate, caramel, roasted malts, but also a good deal of dark fruits, raisins, dates, black currant all blend together with some smoke and a touch of oak. Smooth palate although light for an impy stout. This one was a nice bottle to sip over 2 hours though. Enjoyable..

Aug 8, 2006 Bottle, 2005: Deep black with a tan head. Muscular texture; lively carbonation. Really nice flavors and aromas of coffee, wood, smoke and chocolate. Rather roasty and peaty, too. Sweet-bitter balance is nice. Bold on both fronts. Dark-fruit notes linger and build. Very nice stuff.

Jul 19, 2006 RBSG ’06. Black with a thin tan head. Aroma of coffee, dark roasted malts and dark chocolate. Flavor was roasted malt, dark chocolate with a hint of coffee liqueur. A bit thin bodied for an impy stout but still pretty solid.

Jul 18, 2006 RBSG 2006 - Grand Tasting. Deep, reddish muddy-brown body with a somewhat oily, fading tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate and cocoa, light butter, and alcohol fumes. Flavor has lots of roast and is somewhat rummy with a medium sweet chocolate cake quality. A decent imperial stout for sure, but doesn’t jump out and grab me like some do.
