Aug 5, 2008 (Bottle 33 cl) Hazy amber golden with a tiny off-white head. Lightly tart liqueur-like aroma. Solid body with hardly any carbonation, notes of overripe fruit, roasted malt and caramel. Has some lightly oxidized sherry notes and basically no bitterness. Mostly reminds me of a Barley Wine really. 290608

Jul 13, 2008 Bottle @ the RBESG08 Grand Tasting.
Pours muddy brown with almost no head. Just a weak foam. Aroma has caramel, roasted and good raisin notes. Fine, oily mouthfeel, perhaps a bit flat. Flavour is very vinious - just a tad too much. Good roasted caramel. Good power, ugly but an okay beer.
