RBESG08 grand tasting
One of the last beers on the tasting... the game was in the 80’s I reckon. Dark red body. Malty nose. Dull sweet malty taste. Simple, boring.

Nice clean maltiness with some hops. Pale colour and a fast dissapearing foam. Caramell tast and small bitterness.

Sampled at the RBESG08 grand tasting. Clear copper, medium off-white head. Bland toffeish malt aroma. Ok balance, quite dry finish.

Clear dark brown color, big lasting tan head. Roasted and sweet malty scent. Sweet malty taste. Medium mouthfeel, a bit to the smooth side, low bitterness.

Medium light beige head does not last. Deep brown body with light carbonation. Roasty caramelly aroma with peppery notes and dried fruit. Dry-sweet roasty caramel taste with notes of wild berries and pepper. Dry roasty cardboard aftertaste. Quite good, if a bit watery. (0.5l can, St. Urho’s pub, Helsinki.)

Dark reddish-brown beer. Head is medium and very pale beige in colour. Some lace formatio Caramel and light roastedness. Little rye-bread and raisins. Medium sweet flavor with medium bitter finish. A bit harsh palate with too much carbonation and not very pleasant hops in the finish.

Dark red-brown colour with a medium head that disappears quickly. Slightly roasty, sweetish, malty taste with some metallic and caramel notes. Quite carbonated. Thin, dry mouthfeel.
