Commercial Description:
This year’s version of our annual limited release introduced a new step in the process, barrel aging. After primary fermentation, this step, done in aged bourbon barrels, adds a unique element to the beer. To go along with this special process we used three types of malts, including peated malt, in the fermentation. This combination adds elements to the beer reminiscent of fine Scotch Whiskeys. East Kent Golding hops add to the Scottish influence and round out this exceptionally complex brew. Once again, the beer is finished with a bottle conditioning step and, like its predecessors, should continue to improve with age. It is extremely limited, extremely strong, and extremely original, because as we like to say around here: "It’s All About Extremes!

RBSG 2007. Pours to a coppery amber body with a bubbly head. The aroma is strong. Crisp plain malts and grainy silage. The flavor is crisp clean grains with a chocolate malt. Clean organic-like grains and granola. Clean crisp mouthfeel with a moderate texture.

Bottle. Poured a clear copper color with no head. No lacing, as there is almost no carbonation. Aroma is a sweet blend of caramel, malt, and fruit. Flavor....wow! This is a strong ale indeed. Caramel start and a nice malty and alcohol finish. Thanks Cottrell for this puppy! This is freaking awesome!

RBSG 2007. And Hellomynameis rounds out the 03 to 06 vertical. What a guy!! Copper color with no head. A little malt aroma. Smoky taste and a very dry malt finish, but little bitterness.

Bottle shared by Odeed; Nose of light fruit, woodineess and bourbon; Lightly hazed orange with a medium offwhite head;; flavor of caramel, apricots, spices, oak, a little alcohol, and a bit of hop bitterness for a finish. Almost as good as the 01, very underrated!

The Blue Bottle is cool. aroma of a musty closet full of cobwebs, or maybe grandma’s closet after forgetting to load it up with mothballs. MUSTY! Murky orange color. flavors of alcohol & wood. spicy bitter finish.

Bottled. hazy pale amber, almost no foam. Rather sweet aroma of caramel with touches of almond, spices and vanilla. Too mush flavours of bourbon which I don’t like. Vanilla, nuts and spunned sugar with notes of spices and grass. Nuts, vanilla, grass and wood in the long finish.
