Aug 31, 2009 1994 Vintage. Dark rich thick viscous pour with amazing legs just hanging on and never letting go. Aroma is simply amazing. Dark malts, caramel, dark rich fruit, raisins and molasses. Flavor has all of the above and just a touch of alcohol. Brown sugary goodness. Just awesome.

Aug 4, 2009 Lots of sweet fruit and dark malts on the nose of this caramel colored beer. More of the same on the flavor. Molasses and caramel. Pretty good

Jul 13, 2009 RBSG09 ’93 vintage on the bus courtesy of cquiroga. Pours a muddy reddish blonde with essentially no carbonation. Huge caramel aroma, brown sugar, toffee, butterscotch (not in a bad diacetyl way), candied dark fruits. Sweet caramel flavor up front immediately dives headlong into epic oxidation notes of cherries and vinegar. Massive mouthfeel, not much heat from the booze at all. Delicious.

Jul 12, 2009 Pour at GT 09 courtesy of jazz88. Thank you sir. This was the same vintage I had traded without tasting (1997) so was very pleased. Pours thick like amber-red syrup with no head. Smells bright, fruity and darkly candy-like. Taste is something I will remember for awhile: artificial cherry (cough syrup) right up front followed by roasty syrupy malt, dark fruit, and a buttery, oily rauch character like charred bacon. Very bacon-like in its greasiness, but only to a degree that works with the fruit. Very very nice.

Apr 24, 2009 Strong heavy dark fruit aroma and flavor. Heavily balanced towards malt... bottle should say: "don’t make any fookin plans"
