Quite an amazing brew, tons of thanks to Alan Sprints for this one at the RBSG04. Poured right from the barrel with a deep red color and a soapy bubbled off-white head. Very sweet aroma, malty, woody, hoppy, and some spice to it. Taste starts strong and alcoholic with the wood taste elevating this already amazing brew.

Dark ruby with a small light tna head. The aroma is wood, caramel, and some toffee. The flavor is quite hoppy, though the wood is still there. The sweetness in the aroma is cut some by the hops. Full palate with some alcohol burn.

Mahogany our with a light off white head. Aromas of toffee, oak, hops (bitter) and alcohol. Slightly fruity notes as well. Big bitter hops as well as citrus in the flavors. Grapefruit comes through strongly. Toffee and oak again. Some spices. Thick body, slightly spicy palate and a finish of bitter, fruity, alcohol.
