Aug 1, 2008 A deep dark stout with a thin dark brown head. In aroma, dark chocolate with black pepper notes, coffee beans, very rich. In mouth, a sharp aggressive IS, with chocolate, again the black pepper coming out, licorice, vanilla, and loads of alcohol. Kicks like a mule, as Karl would say. A wonderful IS which will improve with age. Taste July 5 with Probstk. Bieropholie imports.

Jul 18, 2008 Poured like it’s namesake from the bottle, with a tan/amber head that evaporated nearly instantly. There is little evidence of any carbonation, but I swear that this is made with champagne. There’s plenty of spice and cocoa, but the eement of champagne seems to push this beer into the realm of decadance.

Jul 16, 2008 Aroma: wine, honey, pepper, lovely, dark malt. Vinous as hell, sourish, coffee, vanilla, very piny & powerful hops. Tabascolike scent. Preserved strawberries. Rose hip.
Flavour: Peppery, malty, coffee, chocolate fudge. Very peculiar bittersweet flowery backbone. Elderberry & honey. Overall on the bitter, dark malty & floral side. Oatmeal can be sensed. This is freaking magic. Vinous...
Apperance: reddish black, slightly cloudy body with brown rind. Brown beige superfine bubbles leaving a film of foam. Quite spectacular.
Palate: velvety, smooth. Vinous. Slippery & dry feeling.

Jul 15, 2008 375 ml bottle shared with Lubiere, served cool in a goblet.
App.: Deep cola brown with ruby hints, tiny light mocha head.
Aroma: An assault on the nostrils! Big black pepper, green resinous hops, some black coffee and dark chocolate, smokey.
Palate: Medium-full body and sparse carbonation.
Flav.: Very aggressive green peppercorns, huge amounts of resinous hops, some sweet malts but they are struggling; very spicy, quite bitter, biting and young; oily and mouth-coating..
ENORMOUS and needs to age I think.

Jul 15, 2008 Bottle, RBESG08 grand tasting.
Almost black brown body. Nose... hmm... elder? Very pleasant. Dark malts. Nice heavy malty taste, elder again, alcohol, big roasty bitterness. Way better than the Black, but it just isn’t my style.
