RBSG 2006 - DC Grand Tasting Lineup Black, tan head, nice lacing. Nose of sweet plum, roasted chocolate, sweet coffee and alcohol. Finishes sweet and balanced with tart and astringency. The flavor is like a mix of chocolate covered coffee beans and raisins.

Bottle quite a nice surprise as an extra in trade from BuckNaked. Black with short lived tan head. Aroma is all chocolate up front, as it warms burnt coffe grains start to take over. Chocolate dominates the flavor at first, turns to roasted grain through the middle. Finish is all bitter coffee. Decent overall, but w/o the huge coffee character would have scored much higher for me.

RBSG 06. Black body with tan head, lasting cover. The aroma is roast, chocolates, raisins and vanilla. The flavor is milk chocolate, roast and golden raisins. The mouthfeel is soft and smooth.

Sampled at RBSG 2006- Grand Tasting. Vintage 2004/05. Pours coal black with a dark beige head. Very grainy. Husks of grain. Husky aroma. Really wild stuff to be able to produce such a freshly cracked smell. Awesome typical stour infusions of flavor such as coffee molasses and roasted malt, but there’s an intensity beyond these things that puts a bit of sherry and coffee liquor in your mind. Delicious.

Consumed at "The Great Waste of the Midwest" Thanks to Dale for sharing his last 5 Czars bottle!!! We like to think that this was the last existing bottle... great chocolate/roasted coffee bean flavor that got chalky at the finish, bitter aftertaste with strong chocolate notes that lingered long afterwards. I mixed some with Khunnen Rasperry Eisbock and it was the worst tasting experiment ever, It did go well with the New Glarus Belgian Red, though...

RBSG ’06 NIce foamy tan head over dark, motor oil beer. The nose had hints of molasses and petroleum. Oily mouthfeel with molasses sweetness, raisen and dark fruit, bitter chocolate and a finish that kept the chocolate but faded into coffee. Very nice sipping beer.

Bottle at RBSG 2006. Black bodied with a small brown head. Nose is roasted malts, dark chocolate, coffee hint of licorice, and some light lactic sourness. Taste is roasted malts, coffee, dark chocolate, lighbt lactic notes, and a hint of soy. Body is medium with mild carbonation. Finishes with more roasty malts, coffee, and dark chocolate.
