mj (4971), Colorado, USA Aug 15, 2004 Cask @ brewery: deep brown or black, creamy tan head. smooth and thin, very light with a small tinge of artificial flavored black licorice, completely separate from the roasted malts and smoky blackness of the porter. Try again please. Volgon (2487), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Aug 3, 2004 RBSG 2004, on cask: Brown black with a thin tan head. Sweet licorice aroma, smooth soft carbonation. I really don’t like licorice that much, so my rating is a bit low. BückDich (4777), McCall, Idaho, USA Jul 29, 2004 Cask @ Portland Brewing for RBSG 04 Aroma of roasted malt, black patent & faint licorice that blends in with the hops. The flavor is swee4t & balanced, a light malt flavor with low carbonation . Finishes astringent and roasted. This is fairly similar to the regular version with the cask qualities standing out the most and a little anise. argo0 (6842), Washington DC, USA Jul 24, 2004 (RBSG04) (cask) Black body topped by tan head.
