Jul 22, 2005 Updated: Aug 24, 2005750ml bottle (2004) shared with blankboy. Poured a clear gold, slight copper tinge at top of glass - very small head. Aroma was initially quite skunky, then settled to wet grass, harsh raw hops, grain, malt vinegar, slightly sweet maltiness, leaves. Taste was initially light - raspberry, wheat, mild malt, increasing bitterness with warming. Mouthfeel was earthy, metallic and alcoholic - quite astringent, I could swear they used hard water in the brewing. A very harsh bitterness on the finish - perhaps slightly off due to the green bottle?

Jul 20, 2005 07.08.05 RBSG Pale amber, minimal head. Slight aroma of feet, sulfur. Not terribly appealing. Thin flavor includes mild vanilla ice cream and gym locker. Other off-fruity hints. Tangerine?? I guess this one didn’t really agree with my taste buds.

Small frothy white head that disappears immediately. Light brown body
Unassertive malty aroma. The flavor had many acetic and sour notes that shouldn’t be in any sort of Bock. Off a bit perhaps??

Jul 12, 2005 Sampled at the RBSG ‘05 bottle tasting courtesy of beerhugger: Pours a clear pale copper with a thin whispy off-white head. Aroma is dry, grainy and caramely malty with some lager yeast character. Body starts dry, full, earthy and malty, but not very sweet. Decent eisbock, but could really use some more complexity.

Jul 12, 2005 Couleur ambrée, faible quantité de mousse beige pale. Arômes axés vers le malt, céréales, shredded wheat, quelques notes d’alcool aussi présentent. Passablement sucrée en bouche, céréales toujours présentes, faible trace de légumes bouillis, ne semble comporter aucun profil de houblon. On y ressent l’influence Allemande par son profil et caractère maltée. RBSG2005.
