Commercial Description:
This one was inspired by Fantome's Black Ghost and Pizza Port's SPF8. It's deep brown in color and the combination of roast and tropical fruit flavors are strange but effective. It's hopped with English Goldings and Saaz and fermented with three Belgian yeast strains. ~6% Brewed: Feb.17 Bottled:

(Draught) Sampled at the Belgium Comes To Cooperstown 2005 in Cooperstown, NY. Pours a deep copper body with a medium, frothy, beige head. Nose is lactic and red wine. The flavours are milky, farmy with sour cherries. Average.

Bottle... RBSG2005... Very dark ale with a mid-sized, frothy, well-tanned head. Good retention. Yeasty, Flemish nose with notes of chocolate, plum, light coffee, pineapple and horseblanket. Well-balanced flavor delivers plenty of semi-sweet chocolate and lemon with lesser notes of red wine and wet leather. Medium-bodied and lightly oily with lively carbonation. Finishes crisp, tart and dry.

Wow, extremely sour beer. Much like a flemish sour, tasted like a sweetened vinegar. Couldn’t finish a whole bottle myself, but I’m glad I tried it.

2005 RBSG - Sour, citrus aroma, vinegar. Barnyard, corn silage aroma also. Very sour palate, astringent, however drinkable. Strong citrus presence, I kept writing vinegar on my rating sheet.

Bottle thanks to jeffin7: Dark brown, mostly opaque, with a small biege head that sticks to the side of the glass and lasts throughout the time I’m tasting this beer. Aroma is a bit barnyard funky at first, then shows pepper, sour yeast, light fruits, and hints of chocolate and roast. I dive in. Tastes of roasted malts, chocolate, barnyard, lemon, herbs, and leather with plenty of acidity. This strange mix of roasted/chocolate and acidic/citrus & sourness really works well.

RBSG2005. Couleur noire, moyenne quantité de mousse beige pale adhérant à la paroi du verre, faible dégagement gazeux lors du service. Particulièrement levuré en arômes, olive, croûte de pain brun, dattes et miel. On y reconnaît facilement l’influence Fantôme Black Ghost en bouche, toujours très levuré style oxalide, racines, réglisse noire. Corps d’épaisseur mince à semi mince, faible carbonatation, finale exposant l’amertume des levures.

The 1st beer I had at BCTC ’05. Fruity yeasty lemon nose w. plum and pineapple. Deep brody body with an attractive off-white head. Very pineapple, orange, a bit of funk, pepper.

Bottle #54. Nose is woody and has notes of chocolate and coffee. Taste-highly acidic, citric, coffee, chocolate, and straw. Very odd mixture of citric acid, tannins, coffee, malt, dark fruit, and chocolate touch of smoke as it warms. Mouthfeel loses points for the stinging acidity.
