RBSG07. From 50 cL bottle (Bavarian US export version). Pours muddy brown with an off white head. Aroma is banana and bubblegum. Flavour is the same into the finish which has some bitterness. I just don’t get the bubblegum thing.

Bottle, 7.5%. Claims to be BB January 2001, 7 years ago, but here goes. Vinous aroma, somewhat like Aventinus. Dark, cloudy brown colour. Small, stable tan head. The flavour is quite sweet with some anis feel to it. As it warms, it gets a little roasted aftertaste, apart from that I find it slightly boring. I am still not sure whether it is too old or not.

Dull dark brown colour. Small head. Hazy. Depths of dark fruit in the nose with chocolate accents. Sweet but it’s quality maltiness with hints of chocolate, toffee along with lots of plum and raisin. Smooth, unspectacular but quality throughout.
