Jul 8, 2007 Another nice treat from hellomynameis who brought in a vertical of Newport Storm 03 through 06 to the RBSG ’07 Grand Tasting. This one was finally cracked open just after midnight. The 2004 Vintage pours a dark orange amber brew with a soft fast dissolving light tan head. Aroma of sweet fruit, molasses, a touch of vanilla and sweet apples. Taste is sweet and fruity, with flavors of molasses, caramel, and raisins. Texture is thick and chewy (full bodied) with a light toasted malt aftertaste. This one has a little more hop flavor than the 2003 Vintage. More high alcohol after burn going down created a very warm sensation.

Jul 7, 2007 Amber brown color that is very still looking. Caramel sweetness in the aroma. Molasses, caramel, alcohol, fruit all round out the flavour. Full and interestingly complex.

Jul 3, 2007 Sugar and fruit aroma. Also like a barleywine, just like the 03. This one has aged very well. It is thick and vinous, like a port, but with very minimal grape or wine character. Alcohol burn, which makes it seem ever more like liquor. Flavor is quite sweet, and minimal hops. I’m going against the grain on this one.

Jun 28, 2007 RBSG 2007. Pours to a lightly hazed caramel body with no head. The aroma is musty yellow apple skins and apple flesh with onion hops and other saison-like characteristics. The flavor is really caramelly with some yellow apple skins and sweet malts. Lots of apples in this one. The palate is sweet and sticky and full bodied. Caramelized. A great high ABV "saison".

Jun 25, 2007 RBSG 2007. Hellomynameis continues on with the vertical. Hazy orange color with a little head. Simple, sweet malt aroma and taste. Lots of unexpected fruit flavor, mainly apples and figs. Quite nice.

Apr 25, 2007 Looks exactly like apple cider in my lager glass, with absolutely no head. Very strong peppery aroma with lots of dark candied fruit, oak, raisin and caramel; unlike any kind of lager I’ve ever encountered. It more closely resembles a barley wine in aroma. The carbonation is very soft. The flavour is sugary sweet and very spicy, with hints of vanilla, burbon, and oak. The finish is strong, dry, spicy and bitter from the hops. Their is an intense warming in the chest. This stuff is very boozy, but that goes without saying. This stuff is insanely complex.

Apr 25, 2007 Poured a murky orange cidar colour, with no head. Aroma is sweet and boozy, almost a hidden wood smell. Flavor is beginning with a sweet malt suttle chocolate on the palate with touch of caramel. Zero carbonation. Finishing aftertaste is warm almost a funky medicine.
