BückDich (4793), McCall, Idaho, USA Jul 29, 2004 Tap @ Rose & Raindrop for RBSG 04 Clear ruby color with a very light head & lacing. The aroma has lots of hops and lots of sweet caramelized malts. The flavor is sweet & full-bodied. Interesting finish of sour grapes and tang. Volgon (2487), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Jul 27, 2004 RBSG 2004, on tap: Clear orange with some reddish tinge under a small white head. Spicy grapefruit in the nose, fizzy carbonation, starts and ends moderately bitter. mj (4975), Colorado, USA Jul 19, 2004 On tap @ Rose & Raindrop. Dark burgundy, very thick and frothy... certainly a barley wine in my opinion. Overly-bitter, very vinuous and with some woody musty flavors... quite strong, with some tobacco in the finish. Zach Diesel (907), Portland, Oregon, USA Jul 12, 2004 balanced honey hop aroma, yellowish orange with no head, sweet building hoppiness, grassy finish, cleans up nicely despite all the hops beerinmarch (2781), Alabama, USA Jun 6, 2004 On tap at the Sasquatch brew festival in Eugene,OR. Dark red/amber color with a small white head that fell quickly. Very malty aroma with a roasted edge. This was a very sweet tasting brew, clinging to the palate, very strong tasting for a bitter, probably why its imperial. Brew had a slightly bitter end and had a nice hop-finished aftertaste.
